dc.description.abstract | The severity of pruritus and the extent and severity of erythema were quantified in 107 dogs presenting with various dermatoses. Pruritus was assessed using a previously validated scale, and erythema was quantified by assessing severity at 72 different body sites. Pruritus scores were either 0, or followed a normal type of distribution, with most dogs having a score in the middle of the range and a few dogs having low or high scores. The median pruritus score was 6.3 ⁄ 10. Erythema scores were heavily skewed towards lower values, with only a few dogs having high scores. The median diffuse erythema score was 6.0 ⁄ 216 and the median score for maculo-papular ⁄ pustular erythema was 0 ⁄ 1080. Pruritus and erythema scores were significantly correlated with a Spearman rank correlation coefficient of 0.4062 (P < 0.001). However, visual assessment of the data representing the two variables revealed that this was not a consistent biological or clinically relevant correlation. Individual dogs could have a high pruritus score with low erythema score or vice versa. This study raises questions about the use of erythema scoring systems as a primary outcome measure in clinical trials, and also about the role of various inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of canine pruritus. | - |
