All clinicopathological data were available for review, and the animals were available for examination. Data collected included opinions on whether the patient would be discharged from hospital, a mood score, position, and experience in Emergency and Critical Care. One-hundred and twenty-five dogs (77.6%) were discharged; 36 dogs (22.4%) died or were euthanized. Two hundred and sixty-six responses were obtained; 202 responses (75.9%) predicted the correct outcome. Students, interns, residents, faculty, and nurses predicted the correct outcome in 81.4%, 58.3%, 83.3%, 82.1%, and 65.5% of cases, respectively. Of 64 incorrect predictions, 43 (67.2%) predicted death in hospital. APPLE&lt;sub&gt;fast&lt;/sub&gt; scores were obtained in 121 cases, predicting the correct outcome in 83 cases (68.6%). Of 38 cases in which APPLE&lt;sub&gt;fast&lt;/sub&gt; was incorrect, 27 (71.1%) were dogs surviving to discharge. Mean APPLE&lt;sub&gt;fast&lt;/sub&gt; score was 22.9 (± 6.2). There was no difference in outcome prediction accuracy between staff and APPLE&lt;sub&gt;fast&lt;/sub&gt; scores (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.13). Neither experience nor mood score was associated with outcome prediction ability (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.55 and &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.74, respectively).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":17603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care","volume":"34 1","pages":"69-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/vec.13350","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138178127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
