BT, clinical diagnosis and outcome were recorded. BT was categorised as follows: normothermia (37.8\u201339.7\u00b0C); hyperthermia (\u2a7e39.8\u00b0C); mild hypothermia (36.8\u201337.7\u00b0C); moderate hypothermia (35.6\u201336.7\u00b0C); severe hypothermia (33.1\u201335.5\u00b0C); and critical hypothermia (\u2a7d33\u00b0C). Outcome in the ED was categorised as death, euthanasia, hospital admission and discharge. Outcome at hospital discharge was evaluated in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was identified in patients. No-SIRS cats were divided into three disease categories (urinary system, cardiovascular and miscellanea) and SIRS cats into four categories (urinary system, cardiovascular, trauma and miscellanea). The presence of sepsis was evaluated. Non-parametric statistics were used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 1440 cats were included. The hospital mortality rate was 21.9%. Hypothermia in the ED was reported in 510 (35.4%) cats, normothermia in 849 (59%) cats and hyperthermia in 81 (5.6%) cats. In the ED, the median temperature in non-survivors (35.4\u00b0C, 95% confidence interval [CI] 34.6\u201336.3) was significantly lower than in survivors (38.2\u00b0C, 95% CI 38.1\u201338.3;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.0001).
