Abstract

Background: CT imaging has been used to document the soft palate dimensions in brachycephalic dogs but reliability of such measurements has not been evaluated. The aims of this study were to propose a method of measurements of the soft palate in French bulldogs and determine its reliability.

Methods: Thirty French bulldogs were prospectively included. Five measurements of the soft palate were performed on soft tissue and bone window mid-sagittal images: length, thickness at 25, 50 and 75 per cent of its length and sagittal plane cross-sectional area. Three sets of data were separately acquired by three observers. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability for all measurements was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Results: The median ICCs showed excellent reliability (0.90 to 0.99) for all intraobserver measurements except for thickness at 75 per cent which showed good (0.80 to 0.89) to excellent reliability. The median ICC showed excellent reliability for all interobserver measurements.

Conclusion: The soft palate measurements on a single CT image are reproducible and repeatable. Further study is needed to assess the reliability of these measurements in the same patient with different endotracheal tube positions.

法国斗牛犬软腭计算机断层测量的观察者内和观察者间可靠性。
背景:CT成像已被用于记录短头犬的软腭尺寸,但这种测量的可靠性尚未得到评估。本研究的目的是提出一种测量法国斗牛犬软腭的方法,并确定其可靠性。方法:前瞻性纳入30只法国斗牛犬。在软组织和骨窗中矢状面图像上进行了软腭的五种测量:长度,厚度在其长度的25%,50%和75%,矢状面截面积。三个观测者分别获得了三组数据。使用类内相关系数(ICC)评估所有测量的观察者内部和观察者之间的信度。结果:除厚度为75%外,所有观察者内测量的中位icc显示出良好(0.80至0.89)至优异的信度(0.90至0.99)。中位ICC对所有观察者间测量结果显示出极好的可靠性。结论:单张CT图像对软腭的测量具有再现性和可重复性。需要进一步的研究来评估这些测量在同一患者不同气管插管位置的可靠性。
