Snippet: Current criteria for diagnosis of IR using basal insulin and the OST are highly specific but lack sensitivity. While these tests may be useful in diagnosing severely IR individuals, they may not be adequate in detecting mildly affected horses. The CGIT displayed better sensitivity and specificity; however, more liberal criteria may be necessary to improve agreement with Minimal Model analysis.

Document: Current criteria for diagnosis of IR using basal insulin and the OST are highly specific but lack sensitivity. While these tests may be useful in diagnosing severely IR individuals, they may not be adequate in detecting mildly affected horses. The CGIT displayed better sensitivity and specificity; however, more liberal criteria may be necessary to improve agreement with Minimal Model analysis. Hypocalcemia is a frequent finding in septic foals that is associated with mortality. Hypovitaminosis D in critically ill people has been linked to hypocalcemia and mortality; however, information on vitamin D metabolites and their association with clinical and laboratory information, as well as mortality in critically ill foals is lacking.
