Data were collected on putative risk factors for colic, including reason for admission, signalment, and medical or surgical interventions received.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> No significant difference in interval prevalence of colic was identified between horses with ocular disease (8\/105 [8%]) or orthopedic disease (9\/197 [5%]). However, horses with ocular disease differed significantly from other horses in median age (10 vs 3 years, respectively); proportions of sexually intact males (3% vs 30%), Thoroughbreds (28% vs 62%), and those receiving general anesthesia (65% vs 80%); and median duration of hospitalization (3 vs 2 days). For every 1 mg\/kg increase in daily NSAID dose, the odds of colic increased by 98%. No difference between groups was identified in median duration of colic (1 day), hospitalization (7 vs 3 days), or systemic NSAID administration (7 vs 5 days). Colic in both groups resolved with medical management for all but 1 horse with ocular disease.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Horses hospitalized for ocular disease were at no greater odds for colic than were horses hospitalized for orthopedic disease. Medical management of colic appeared adequate for most horses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.249.1.90","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,16]],"date-time":"2016-06-16T19:00:53Z","timestamp":1466103653000},"page":"90-95","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Interval
