Medical records were reviewed from four veterinary hospitals. Diagnosis was made from retrograde urethrography or direct visualisation during surgery. Location of rupture was categorised as pre-, intra- or post-pelvic. Follow-up data were collected from referring veterinarians. Sixty-three cats were included in the study of which, males predominated (88.9%). Trauma was the most common cause (n = 35; 55.6%) with the remainder due to iatrogenic injury. Forty-eight cats (88.9%) were treated surgically and six (11.1%) managed conservatively. Significant differences between cats suffering traumatic versus iatrogenic injury included the presence of musculoskeletal injuries (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001); the location of rupture (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001); the degree of rupture (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001); definitive management (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001) and short-term complications (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.026). Short-term complications were significantly associated with the following: musculoskeletal injuries (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.012); uroabdomen\/uroretroperitoneum (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.004); azotaemia (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.021); postoperative urinary diversion (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.036) and >1 surgery performed (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.006). Forty-seven cats (74.6%) survived to discharge. Prognostic factors associated with survival to discharge included the presence of musculoskeletal injuries (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.017); cause of rupture (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.017); location of rupture (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.039) and definitive management (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.020). Twenty-four cats (57.1%) suffered short-term complications and 10 (27.0%) suffered long-term complications. Of those cats surviving to discharge 30 (71.4%) had a good outcome. Median follow-up was 16 months. Outcome was significantly associated with cause of rupture (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04); short-term complications (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03) and long-term complications (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001). In conclusion, a significantly greater proportion of cats with iatrogenic injuries survived to discharge and had a good outcome compared with those that suffered trauma.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x13508194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]],"date-time":"2013-10-21T21:19:37Z","timestamp":1382390377000},"page":"300-307","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["A retrospective analysis of urethral rupture in 63 cats"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Elena S","family":"Addison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zoe","family":"Halfacree","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Veterinary College, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alasdair Hotston","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rosemary Lodge Veterinary Hospital, Bath, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jackie","family":"Demetriou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dick White Referrals, Six Mile Bottom, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Parsons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bristol, Bristol, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Tivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Veterinary College, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"318","article-title":"Radiographic diagnosis of urinary tract trauma","volume":"7","author":"Kleine LJ","year":"1971","unstructured":"Kleine LJ, Thornton GW.
