Factors affecting survival of foals with pneumonia in a referral hospital
Higher RR on D1 is a predictor of non-survival in foals with pneumonia in this study, increasing the odds of death by 36% for each 5-unit increase in RR. Respiratory rate below 55/min on D1 favours survival. These findings could assist in early identification of foals that are at increased risk of mortality, thereby aiding in treatment decisions.
