The variables of screening test evaluated in this study included patient characteristics, physical examination, and blood test findings. The cases were also divided into Survivors, which were defined as dogs surviving over 7 days from the first consultation day, and Non-survivors, including the dogs euthanized and died naturally within 7 days from the consultation day. In univariate analysis, heart rates, body temperature, white blood count (WBC), glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), phosphate and lactate were significantly different between Survivors and Non-survivors. Multiple logistic regression model with these significant variables revealed that only phosphate was associated with a poor prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study has demonstrated several parameters of physical examination and blood test, especially plasma phosphate concentration, could be related with mortality in canine respiratory disorders. Although further studies are needed, these parameters may enable more accurate assessment of the severity of respiratory disorders in dogs by combining with the conventional assessments of respiratory functions including oxygenation and ventilation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0328797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,17]],"date-time":"2025-07-17T17:34:08Z","timestamp":1752773648000},"page":"e0328797","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predictive
