When death or euthanasia occurred, confirmation was obtained by gross and histologic examination. To construct a decision tree for short-term prognosis, additional biochemical and cytological biomarkers were measured in urine and blood samples collected at hospitalization. Outcomes were defined as favorable (discharge) or unfavorable (death).
