Estudio observacional retrospectivo multicéntrico para evaluar la efectividad clínica del fármaco Yatrén, en pacientes con parvovirus canino, del año 2017-2018 en hospitales veterinarios de Quito

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious virus that causes severe bloody diarrheas due to the destruction of the intestinal crypts of an infected puppy. The aim of this study was to evaluate four clinical variables of dogs diagnosed with parvovirus, for prognosis of the disease from clinical records of the period 2012 - 2017. The research was carried out in the Veterinary Hospital Medipet in the Metropolitan District of Quito. In this period (2012- 2017), 60.225 patients went for external consultation with different medical affections, of these, 17.483 patients (29 percent ) came for a specific consult of gastroenterology and 165 puppies (0.9 percent ) were diagnosed with parvovirus. Variables were collected from clinical records, for later be tabulated and codified, in order to develop a data base and then be able to apply logistic regression test. This test allowed developing a probability model of occurrence or not about death of the infected patient. The results of logistic regression were divided in three groups that are good prognosis, bad prognosis and those variables who had no relation. In this way, for a good prognosis, it was observed that higher age and weight (p<0.05) decrease the probability of death. On the other hand, neutropenia (p<0.10), dehydration (p<0.05) and presence of comorbidities (p<0.10), increase the probability of death. By the way, variables that had not relation (p>0.05) with forecast were leukocytes, eosinophil and hypoglycemia. In conclusion, the variables that were studied can propose a forecast of the disease, considering the individual analysis of them.
