A wound complication was defined as gross observation of inflammation or wound dehiscence at the surgical site in the 5 day postoperative period. Cases were grouped according to age (\u226412 weeks or &gt;12 weeks) and surgical approach (flank or midline). Stratified analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between surgical approach and wound complications, after adjusting for age. Mantel\u2013Haenszel adjusted risk ratio, Cochran\u2013Mantel\u2013Haenszel test statistic and their 95% confidence intervals were presented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 312 cases met the study criteria. The overall wound complication risk was low (6.09%) and was not related to age. A midline approach was associated with a 4.59-times increased risk of wound complication, compared with a flank approach in cats up to 12 weeks of age ( P = 0.015) but not in older cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings support the practice of prepubertal desexing for cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2055116915613358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,29]],"date-time":"2015-10-29T22:47:50Z","timestamp":1446158870000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effect of age and surgical approach on perioperative wound complication following ovariohysterectomy in shelter-housed cats in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Madeleine L","family":"Roberts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia A","family":"Beatty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Navneet K","family":"Dhand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vanessa R","family":"Barrs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2055116915613358","volume-title":"Proceedings of seminars held by the Australian Veterinary Association and the Minister for Agriculture\u2019s Animal Welfare Advisory Committee between October and December 2003","author":"Makin MR","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr2-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2004.225.1871"},{"key":"bibr3-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1987.191.05.518","volume":"191","author":"Lieberman LL.","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr4-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1997.211.01.57"},{"key":"bibr5-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2004.224.372"},{"key":"bibr6-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00480169.2012.738591"},{"key":"bibr7-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.163.13.381"},{"key":"bibr8-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.159.10.309"},{"key":"bibr9-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1993.202.01.53","volume":"202","author":"Aronsohn MG","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr10-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/svms.2002.34328"},{"key":"bibr11-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.11.005"},{"key":"bibr12-2055116915613358","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2005.06.002"},{"key":"bibr13-2055116915613358","unstructured":"Swaffield MJ, Molloy S, Lipscomb VJ.
