Resumo(s)
O hipotiroidismo canino é uma doença que afeta cães adultos a geriátricos, frequentemente observada na prática clínica. Esta doença é considerada uma causa primária de otites, ou seja, é uma doença que leva ao aparecimento de otites em cães. A causa primária de otites em cães mais comum, contudo, é a dermatite atópica canina. Para avaliar a relação entre estas duas doenças e o aparecimento de otites em cães, foram recolhidos dados de cães com diagnostico de hipotiroidismo através dos registos do laboratório de endocrinologia do Hospital Escolar Veterinário da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Lisboa. Para verificar a presença de dermatite atópica canina nesta população foi efetuado um questionário por contacto telefónico aos detentores destes animais. Para além disso, foi avaliada a presença de otites na população, classificando os animais como: animais com otites relacionadas com hipotiroidismo e animais sem otites relacionadas com o hipotiroidismo. Foi ainda avaliada a presença de otites não relacionadas com o hipotiroidismo. Foram avaliados 72 casos e foram obtidos resultados de 42 animais. Foi feito um teste Qui-quadrado cujo valor de p foi de 0,187, logo não existem diferenças significativas entre o desenvolvimento de otites possivelmente associadas ao hipotiroidismo e dermatite atópica canina. Não foram encontrados outros fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de otites possivelmente associadas ao hipotiroidismo A presença de animais com hipotiroidismo e otite, mas sem suspeita de dermatite atópica canina, é indicativo de que o hipotiroidismo é de facto uma causa primária de otites, embora não se possa excluir a presença de outras causas primárias. Embora este estudo não tenha apresentado conclusões muito concretas, estudos futuros serão necessários para comparar a incidência de otites em animais com e sem hipotiroidismo, utilizando uma população de controlo que tenha animais sem hipotiroidismo
ABSTRACT - THE RELEVANCE OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN THE OCCURRENCE OF OTITIS IN DOGS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH CANINE ATOPIC DERMATITIS: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS - Canine hypothyroidism is a condition that affects adult to geriatric dogs and is frequently observed in clinical practice. This disease is recognized as a primary cause of otitis, meaning it can lead to the development of ear infections in dogs. However, the most common primary cause of otitis in dogs is canine atopic dermatitis. To explore the relationship between these two conditions and the occurrence of otitis in dogs, data was collected from dogs diagnosed with hypothyroidism, based on the records from the Laboratory of Endocrinology of Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Lisbon. To assess the presence of canine atopic dermatitis in this population, a telephone survey was conducted with the owners of these animals. Additionally, the presence of otitis in the population was evaluated, with the animals being classified into two groups: those with otitis related to hypothyroidism and those without. The occurrence of otitis unrelated to hypothyroidism was also examined. 72 cases were evaluated and was obtained data from 42 animals. A Chi-square test was conducted, yielding a p-value of 0.187, indicating no significant differences between the development of otitis possibly associated with hypothyroidism and canine atopic dermatitis. No other risk factors for the development of otitis potentially associated with hypothyroidism were identified. The presence of dogs with both hypothyroidism and otitis, but without signs of canine atopic dermatitis, suggests that hypothyroidism is indeed a primary cause of otitis, although the presence of other primary causes cannot be ruled out. While this study did not provide very definitive conclusions, future research will be needed to compare the incidence of otitis in dogs with and without hypothyroidism, using a control population of dogs without the condition
