The survival of the patient primarily depends on early diagnosis and timely treatment, but other factors contributing to the outcome have been discussed in the literature. The objective of this study was to identify preoperative clinical, hematological, as well as intraoperative parameters that are associated with the prognosis of cows with RDA or abomasal volvulus (AV). This retrospective study included patients admitted to a veterinary teaching hospital over a period of 6 years with a diagnosis of RDA or AV. A total of 234 cows were included, of which 193 were discharged after treatment and thus classified as survivors. In contrast, 41 cases died or were euthanized during or after surgery and were categorized as non-survivors. Non-survivors showed more severe dehydration, higher heart rate, lower sodium, as well as higher L-lactate and phosphorus concentration in their blood prior to surgery compared with the survivors. During surgery, the abomasum of non-survivors was markedly dilated and twisted more frequently than in survivors. The results presented here can facilitate the early identification of animals with poor prognosis requiring more intensive peri- and postoperative care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13182887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]],"date-time":"2023-09-11T09:05:17Z","timestamp":1694423117000},"page":"2887","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Preoperative and Surgical Predictors of the Treatment Outcome of Dairy Cows with Right Abomasal Displacement\u2014A Retrospective Study of 234 Cases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2020-5807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Proios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Cattle, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bischofsholer Damm 15, D-30173 Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6139-6219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Gr\u00fcnberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Ruminants and Herd Health Management, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Frankfurter Str. 104, D-35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"436","article-title":"Diseases of the Alimentary Tract-Ruminant","volume":"Volume 1","author":"Constable","year":"2017","journal-title":"Veterinary Medicine"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1521","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.21-0123","article-title":"Retrospective study on the outcomes and risk factors of right paramedian abomasopexy for right abomasal disorders in 47 dairy cows","volume":"83","author":"Tsukano","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
