Variables such as breed, sex, weight change and intervals between surgeries were analysed with logistic regression. Preoperative tibial plateau angle, age, cranial cruciate ligament status and body weight were analysed with a generalized linear mixed model. All analyses were performed to assess the likelihood of bilateral meniscal tears versus unilateral tears and no tears. Correlation of meniscal tears between stifles was assessed with Cohen's kappa coefficient.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003Prevalence of bilateral meniscal tears was 48.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 43.0\u201353.0%). There was moderate agreement of the presence of meniscal tears between stifles (Cohen's kappa coefficient\u2009=\u20090.41, 95% CI: 0.31\u20130.51).The odds for bilateral meniscal tears were higher for Rottweilers (odds ratio [OR:] 4.5 [95% CI 1.1\u201330.3], p\u2009=\u20090.033), older dogs (OR: 1.2 [95% CI: 1.1\u20131.4 per year], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), smaller dogs (OR: 0.98 [95% CI: 0.97\u20130.99 per 0.45-kg], p\u2009=\u20090.001), stifles with complete cranial cruciate ligament tears (OR: 21.1 [95% CI: 7.1\u201362.4], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Contralateral meniscal tears, breed, older age, lower patient weight and complete cranial cruciate ligament tear were significant risk factors for bilateral meniscal tears. Surgeons can use these results to determine prognoses and propensities for meniscal tears in at-risk dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1717134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]],"date-time":"2020-10-16T23:16:23Z","timestamp":1602890183000},"page":"037-042","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence and Risk Factors for Bilateral Meniscal Tears Identified during Treatment for Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease Via Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy in Dogs"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Rebecca L.","family":"Laube","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgery Department, BluePearl Veterinary Partners, Southfield, Michigan, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyle K.","family":"Kerstetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgery Department, BluePearl Veterinary Partners, Southfield, Michigan, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.2010.00663.x","article-title":"Predictive variables for complications after TPLO with stifle inspection by arthrotomy in 1000 consecutive dogs","volume":"39","author":"N Fitzpatrick","year":"2010","journal-title":"Vet Surg"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"273","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2011.01202.x","article-title":"Effect of signalment on the presentation of canine patients suffering from cranial cruciate ligament disease","volume":"53","author":"J W Guthrie","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Small Anim Pract"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"195","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ctsap.2007.09.008","article-title":"The canine stifle","volume":"22","author":"S O Canapp Jr","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin Tech Small Anim Pract"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"1817","volume-title":"Stifle Joint.
