The objective of this retrospective investigation is to identify the incidence of gastrointestinal ulceration as a co-morbidity in calves presenting to a referral veterinary hospital. Approximately 24% of calves presented to the hospital that died or were euthanized had evidence of gastrointestinal ulceration. Previous administration of an NSAID was significantly associated with the presence of ulcers, whereas antibiotic administration, age at presentation, gender, or breed were not. Clinicians and producers should consider the risk of ulceration in calves treated with NSAIDs, in light of antiulcer therapies.

向爱荷华州中央兽医转诊机构提出的小牛胃肠道溃疡：发病率未得到充分认识？

这项回顾性研究的目的是确定胃肠溃疡的发生率是犊牛在转诊兽医医院中的合并症。送往医院的已死亡或安乐死的小牛约有24％有胃肠道溃疡的迹象。先前给予NSAID与溃疡的存在显着相关，而抗生素的给予，出现时的年龄，性别或品种则与之无关。根据抗溃疡治疗方法，临床医生和生产者应考虑用NSAID治疗的小牛发生溃疡的风险。
