Variables were tested for associations with survival to hospital discharge.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> Urinary tract rupture occurred in the urinary bladder (n = 24 [56%]), urethra (11 [26%]), kidney (2 [5%]), ureter (1 [2%]), both the urinary bladder and kidney (1 [2%]), and undetermined sites (4 [9%]). Rupture causes included traumatic (20 [47%]), obstructive (9 [21%]), and iatrogenic (7 [16%]) or were unknown (7 [16%]). Surgery was performed for 37 (86%) dogs; the defect was identified and surgically corrected in 34 (92%) of these dogs. Hypotension was the most common intraoperative complication. Nineteen dogs had information recorded on postoperative complications, of which 10 (53%) had complications that most often included death (n = 3) and regurgitation (3). Thirty-four (79%) dogs survived to hospital discharge. Dogs with intraoperative or postoperative complications were significantly less likely to survive than dogs without complications. Serum creatinine concentration at admission was not associated with survival to discharge.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> A high proportion of dogs with uroabdomen survived to hospital discharge. No preoperative risk factors for nonsurvival were identified. Treatment should be recommended to owners of dogs with uroabdomen.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.252.1.92","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T21:17:40Z","timestamp":1513372660000},"page":"92-97","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Outcomes in dogs with uroabdomen: 43 cases (2006\u20132015)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"252","author":[{"given":"Janet A.","family":"Grimes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jon M.","family":"Fletcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chad W.","family":"Schmiedt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1111\/vec.12033","article-title":"A clinical review of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of uroabdomen in the dog and cat","volume":"23","author":"Stafford","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"785","article-title":"Urinary tract trauma associated with pelvic trauma","volume":"18","author":"Selcer","year":"1982"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"136","DOI":"10.5326\/0420136","article-title":"Prognostic factors for successful outcome following urethral rupture in dogs and cats","volume":"42","author":"Anderson","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.5326\/15473317-34-4-315","article-title":"Uroperitoneum in cats: 26 cases (1986\u20131995)","volume":"34","author":"Aumann","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"288","DOI":"10.1111\/vec.12430","article-title":"Retrospective evaluation of concurrent intra-abdominal injuries in dogs with traumatic pelvic fractures: 83 cases (2008\u20132013)","volume":"26","author":"Hoffberg","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"937","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2005.226.937","article-title":"Management and outcome of cats with ureteral calculi: 153 cases (1984\u20132002)","volume":"226","author":"Kyles","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-4431.2001.tb00066.x","article-title":"Evaluation of abdominal fluid: peripheral blood creatinine and potassium ratios for diagnosis of uroperitoneum in dogs","volume":"11","author":"Schmiedt","year":"2001"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Clin Tech Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ctsap.2004.12.007","article-title":"Contrast cystography","volume":"20","author":"Essman","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2004.12.001","article-title":"Urinary tract emergencies","volume":"35","author":"Rieser","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Clin Tech Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1053\/svms.2000.7889","article-title":"Managing traumatic urethral injuries","volume":"15","author":"Boothe","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"J Feline Med Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"300","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X13508194","article-title":"A retrospective analysis of urethral rupture in 63 cats","volume":"16","author":"Addison","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Am J Vet Res","first-page":"1083","article-title":"Metabolic changes due to experimentally induced rupture of the canine urinary bladder","volume":"35","author":"Burrows","year":"1974"},{"key":"ref13","series-title":"Vet Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1053\/jvet.2003.50005","article-title":"Comparison of peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood pH, bicarbonate, glucose, and lactate concnetration as a diagnostic tool for septic peritonitis in dogs and cats","volume":"32","author":"Bonczynski","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref14","series-title":"Textbook of medical physiology","first-page":"365","article-title":"Renal regulation of potassium, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium;
