A Scoping Review of Non-Structural Airway Disease as a Cause of Poor Performance in Racehorses.

Abstract: The association between poor performance and respiratory disease in Thoroughbred racehorses that do not have a structural abnormality of the respiratory tract, is often based on anecdotal evidence. The objective of this scoping review was to examine the scientific evidence for such associations. Publications were selected based on a search of three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and CAB Direct), in English and without date restriction, followed by a screening process to exclude non-relevant papers, duplicates, and reviews. This process identified 996 publications of which 20 were analysed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. The results indicated that the evidence supporting the relationship between proposed diagnostic indicators and poor performance is variable. There is a need for better quality evidence. In particular, there are conflicting reports relating to the impact of equine asthma and EIPH on athletic performance. Furthermore, a lack of standardisation in the measurement of racehorse performance makes it difficult to compare findings from different studies. The industry would benefit from high-level guidance concerning the design of controlled performance studies in Thoroughbred racehorses to collect comprehensive data and facilitate targeted interventions.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The research article seeks to review scientific publications to determine the relationship between non-structural respiratory diseases and poor performance in Thoroughbred racehorses. With particular reference to the impact of equine asthma and EIPH (Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage), this research indicates conflicting evidence and calls for more solid, standardised studies.

Scoping Review Process

  • The review began with a search through three databases, PubMed, Scopus, and CAB Direct, for relevant publications on the subject.
  • The search wasn’t limited by date or language, making it broad and inclusive.
  • A screening process was then employed to exclude non-relevant papers, duplicates, and review pieces, leaving only original studies and investigations.
  • At the end of this process, 996 publications were identified.

Data Analysis

  • Of the identified papers, only 20 met the criteria for the review and were therefore further analysed using a predetermined evaluation tool, the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS).
  • The QUIPS tool is designed to assess the risk of bias in prognostic factor studies, providing a comprehensive and systematic approach to evaluating the quality of the evidence in these publications.
  • By utilizing this tool, the researchers aimed to ensure an equitable and thorough examination of the available data.

Study Findings

  • According to the results of the QUIPS tool analyses, the evidence supporting a link between diagnostic indicators of non-structural respiratory diseases and poor performance in racehorses is variable.
  • This means that the strength and conviction of the evidence differed from study to study and was generally inconsistent.
  • Specifically for equine asthma and Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH), studies have been conflicted about their impact on athletic performance in racehorses.
  • These conflicting results highlight a need for high-quality evidence to form a decisive conclusion.

Recommendations

  • The authors recommend establishing standardised measures of racehorse performance to allow for easier comparison across different studies.
  • They encourage the use of controlled performance studies in Thoroughbred racehorses with an aim to gather comprehensive, high-quality data that can inform targeted interventions to improve horse health and performance.
  • These recommendations, if taken up by the industry, could help to resolve the current uncertainty in the literature about the impact of non-structural respiratory diseases on racehorse performance.
