Abstract
Summary In a retrospective study, the prognostic value and individual merit of seven variables, used in routine examination of colic cases, were tested. The following variables proved to be significant in discriminating between horses which survived and those which died: heart rate (P<0.00005), packed cell volume (P<0.00005) and intensity of colic signs (P<0.0001).
