Cataract stage, ICA, AOD, and association with POH were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Cataract stage and ICA or AOD were not significantly associated; however, ICA and AOD typically decreased with increasing cataract maturity. Before and after pupillary dilation, AODs were significantly smaller in cataractous eyes than in noncataractous eyes. Before surgery, ICA and AOD in eyes without pupillary dilation were significantly associated with POH. At &gt; 13\u00b0, odds of developing POH increased by 11% for each degree increase in the ICA. Postoperative anterior chamber debris was not associated with POH. Coefficient of variation for repeated measurements was 10% for the ICA and 9.5% for the AOD, suggesting good intraobserver reliability.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014In this study, dogs with larger ICA and AOD measurements before surgery were at greater risk of developing POH. This information may be useful for future studies to determine whether preventative treatment for POH administered prior to surgery may be beneficial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.69.2.279","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]],"date-time":"2008-02-01T22:34:31Z","timestamp":1201905271000},"page":"279-288","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Ultrasound
