Usefulness of systemic 30inflammatory response 25syndrome criteria as an 20index for prognosis ia judgement 2 10-5-Veterinary Record (2002)

Characterization of the use of antiemetic agents in dogs with parvoviral enteritis treated at a veterinary teaching hospital: 77 cases (1997–2000)

“…24,g In dogs with CPV infection, there was no predictive value associated with fulfillment of the SIRS criteria in relationship to duration of hospitalization. Regardless of whether the criteria suggested by Hauptman et al 21 or Okano et al 23 were applied to the data collected in the present study, there was no relationship between fulfillment of the SIRS criteria and duration of antiemetic administration or duration of hospitalization.…”

“…20 Such SIRS criteria have also been proposed for dogs by several authors. [21][22][23] However, the specificity of these diagnostic criteria for sepsis in dogs is low, as reported by Hauptman et al 21 Okano et al 23 selected much more stringent criteria that limited the sensitivity of the criteria. After initial analysis of the data collected in the present study, the less stringent published SIRS criteria (as suggested by Hauptman et al 21 ) were applied to all dogs on day 1 and identified 65 of 77 dogs as having SIRS.…”

“…This increase suggests that the incidence of SIRS would be underestimated in dogs when WBC counts are not available. Prior to examining the data collected in the present study, we selected SIRS criteria that were based on our clinical population f and that fell between the extremes of the criteria suggested by Hauptman et al 21 and Okano et al 23 Application of these criteria was limited by the infrequency of available WBC counts. However, by use of our physiologic criteria, nonsurvivors were significantly more likely to have persistent physiologic derangements and meet SIRS criteria on a greater percentage of the days that they were in the hospital than survivors (median, 100% vs 20%, respectively).…”

Serum Cardiac Troponin I Concentrations in Dogs with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

“…Dogs presented to the medical Emergency and Critical Care Service with SIRS, and that required Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospitalization afterward, were prospectively included in this observational clinical study. The diagnosis of SIRS was based upon fulfillment of ≥2 of the established SIRS criteria as described in a previous publication:36 Hypo‐or hyper‐thermia (<37.8°C or >39.7°C)Tachycardia (>160 heart rate/min)Tachypnea (>40 breaths/min)PCO 2 (≤32 mmHg)Leukopenia or leukocytosis (<4.0 × 10 9 /L or >12.0 × 10 9 /L)Immature (band) neutrophils >10% …”

“…The SIRS classification was introduced to describe the clinical response to systemic inflammation and has been applied to patients with inflammatory disease 35, 36, 37. The SIRS classification is based on basic clinical and laboratory parameters.…”
