Abstract
Background
Evidence-based medical practices for pet pigs are needed. EldonCard is a human blood-typing card shown to be rapid and reliable in identifying blood phenotypes of pet pigs. The objective of this study was to validate EldonCard by determining its reliability, reproducibility, and robustness for its routine use in the clinical setting.
Key Findings
Twenty-four venous blood samples from pet pigs were collected for a prospective in vitro study. Blood genotypes (“EAAA0” and “EAA00”) were identified in 15 samples via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All samples were phenotyped (“A,” “Aweak,” and “0” or “–”) via EldonCard. Kappa (κ) statistics measured the level of agreement between 2 raters, and between EldonCard and PCR. McNemar's test determined if an association between the blood types and EldonCard or PCR exists, with significance at P < 0.05. Agreement between raters and methods was perfect (60/60 [100%], κ:1, P < 0.001; 15/15 [100%], κ:1, P < 0.001). There was no difference in the proportions of blood groups based on method.
Significance
In conjunction with previous data, EldonCard is a rapid, accurate, reliable, precise, and robust in-clinic blood-typing method for the A0 system of pet pigs. EldonCard is now a validated blood-typing tool for the A0 system of pet pigs and maybe used for pretransfusion screenings and identification of donors and recipients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care’s primary aim is to advance the international clinical standard of care for emergency/critical care patients of all species. The journal’s content is relevant to specialist and non-specialist veterinarians practicing emergency/critical care medicine. The journal achieves it aims by publishing descriptions of unique presentation or management; retrospective and prospective evaluations of prognosis, novel diagnosis, or therapy; translational basic science studies with clinical relevance; in depth reviews of pertinent topics; topical news and letters; and regular themed issues.
The journal is the official publication of the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, the European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, and the European College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. It is a bimonthly publication with international impact and adheres to currently accepted ethical standards.
