Pretreatment earnings significantly decreased in the race immediately prior to diagnosis. A high proportion of previously raced horses returned to racing after both treatments (90\u201396%). Intrahorse comparison of earnings in 3 races pre\u2010 vs. post treatment showed that 53% of conservatively treated horses and 36% of the thermal cautery group had improved performance. Although the difference between these 2 groups may be interpreted as being clinically significant, it was not statistically significant.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions and potential relevance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : A higher percentage of conservatively treated controls had improved individual performance compared to horses treated with thermal cautery. Thermal cautery appears less effective than other previously published surgical treatments for DDSP. Comparison of the 2 treatment methods should be interpreted cautiously because treatments were not randomised, resulting in baseline variability between groups.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2746\/042516408x330383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,24]],"date-time":"2008-12-24T19:11:29Z","timestamp":1230145889000},"page":"65-69","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Efficacy of thermal cautery for intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate as compared to conservatively treated horses: Results from 78 treadmill diagnosed horses"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"S.
