Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of canine ophthalmic diseases in Seoul, Korea using data for new canine patients examined from January 2009 through December 2013 at an ophthalmic referral center (WooSung Animal Medical Center, Seoul). The study included 1253 dogs with an average age of 7.93 years (SD, 4.06). Shih Tzu (29.4%) was the most common breed, followed by Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, and toy Poodle (P < 0.01). Lens diseases (28.3%) were the most common, followed by eyelid, corneal, retinal, and glaucomatous diseases (P < 0.01). Lens, eyelid, retinal, nasolacrimal, uveal, vitreous, and neuro-ophthalmic diseases more frequently showed a bilateral occurrence (P < 0.01) than a unilateral occurrence. In the Shih Tzu breed, corneal disease was the most frequent, followed by lens, eyelid, retinal, and glaucomatous diseases. The most frequent diseases in the Maltese breed were lens, eyelid, retinal, and corneal diseases. In the Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, and toy Poodle breeds, lens disease was the most common (P < 0.01). The most frequent ophthalmic patients belonged to small breeds such as Shih Tzu, Maltese, and Yorkshire Terrier. Moreover, the most common ophthalmic diseases were not traumatic diseases, but breed-inherited diseases such as lens diseases.

서울에서 개의 안과질환에 대한 역학적인 특징에 대해 2009년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지우성동물메디칼센터에 안과질환으로 내원한 초진환자들의 자료를 분석하였다. 총 1253두의 안과환자들이 초진 내원하였으며, 평균나이는 7.93년령 (SD, 4.06)이었다. 환자중에 Shih Tzu (29.4%)가 가장 많았으며, Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, toy Poodle (P < 0.01)이 뒤를 따랐다. 눈에서 질병이 호발하는 곳은 수정체 관련 질환이 가장 많았으며 (28.3%), 안검질환, 망막질환, 비루관질환, 포도막질환, 유리체질환, 시신경계 질환이 그 뒤를 따랐다(P < 0.01). 수정체, 안검, 망막, 비루관, 포도막, 유리체, 시신경계 질환들은 주로 양측성 질환(P < 0.01)으로 발생하는 경향을 보였다. Shih Tzu에서는 각막질환이 가장 많이 발생하였으며, 수정체, 안검, 망막, 녹내장 질환이 그 뒤를 따랐다. Maltese에서는 수정체, 안검, 망막, 각막질환의 순으로 질병이 발생했다. Yorkshire Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, 그리고 toy Poodle 종은 수정체 질환이 가장 많았다(P < 0.01). 안과질환으로 병원에 내원하는 주된 환자들은 Shih Tzu, Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier등과 같은 소형견들이었고, 대부분 수정체 질환과 같은 품종소인이 있는 질환이 대부분이었다.
