Abstract
Objectives: A variety of treatment options for sinonasal aspergillosis have been described, encompassing non-invasive and invasive approaches. To describe the clinical outcomes in dogs treated for sinonasal aspergillosis in the United Kingdom.
Materials and methods: A multi-centre retrospective survey was performed involving 23 referral centres in the United Kingdom from January 2011 to December 2021. Cases were reviewed for first treatment success rates, the number of treatments required and overall clinical remission rates. Different treatment approaches were compared, including rhinoscopic debridement (RD), trephination (TR) and sinusotomy/rhinotomy (SR).
Results: In a cohort of 436 dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis, the most common first treatment modalities were RD (38%) and TR (32%), with SR used in 7% and oral antifungal monotherapy in 3%. The remaining 20% used a mixture of treatments. First treatment remission rate was 55% with SR, 38% with RD, 29% with TR and 31% with the mixed treatment. Overall remission rate was 67% with SR, 81% with RD and 69% with TR and 59% where different treatments were combined. Oral antifungal monotherapy had no successful outcomes at any time point. Complete debridement significantly improved remission rates of first treatments (54% vs. 21%, P = 0.003). Adverse effects were reported in 24% of cases, most commonly in SR and TR groups.
Clinical significance: Rhinoscopic debridement and trephination remain the predominant treatment options for SNA in UK referral practices, with similar overall clinical remission rates. The degree of debridement significantly influences treatment outcomes, with rhinoscopic debridement in combination with topical antifungals showing the highest success rates.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP) is a monthly peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical research papers and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to dogs, cats and other small animals. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. JSAP publishes high quality original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of small animal medicine and surgery.
In addition to original articles, JSAP will publish invited editorials (relating to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest), review articles, which provide in-depth discussion of important clinical issues, and other scientific and educational information from around the world.
The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editor. All papers, regardless of type, represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editor, the Association or the Publisher.
The Journal of Small Animal Practice is published on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and is also the official scientific journal of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association
