Objective To report summative data from the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) registry. Design Multi-institutional veterinary trauma registry data report Setting VetCOT identified veterinary trauma centers (VTCs) Animals Dogs and cats with evidence of trauma presented to VTCs with data entered in the VetCOT trauma registry September 1, 2013 – March 31, 2017 Interventions VetCOT created a standardized data collection methodology for dog and cat trauma. Data was input to a web-based data capture system (REDCap) by data entry personnel trained in data software use and operational definitions of data variables. Data on demographics, trauma type (blunt versus penetrating), pre-admission care, hospitalization and intensive care requirement, trauma severity assessment at presentation (e.g., modified Glasgow coma scale [MGCS] and animal trauma triage [ATT] score), key laboratory parameters, necessity for surgical intervention and case outcome were collected. Summary descriptive data for each species are reported. Measurements and main results Twenty-nine VTCs in North America. Europe, and Australia contributed information from17,335 dog and 3,425 cat trauma cases during the 42-months reporting period. A large majority of cases presented directly to the VTC after injury (80.4% dogs, 78.1% cats). Blunt trauma was the most common source for injury in cats (56.7%); penetrating trauma was the most common source for injury in dogs (52.3%). 43.8% of dogs and 36.2% of cats were reported to have surgery performed. The proportion surviving to discharge were 92.0% (dogs) and 82.5% (cats). Conclusions The VetCOT registry proved to be a powerful resource for collection of a large dataset on trauma in dogs and cats seen at VTCs. While overall survival to discharge was quite high, further evaluation of data on subsets of injury types, patient assessment parameters, interventions and associated outcome are warranted.
