| * % of films submitted for certification by OFA that were dysplastic. (Jan, 1974 - Mar, 1989)
**Estimated % of incidence within a breed. The OFA prevalence figures are generally recognized to be conservative.Recent data was presented by Gail K. Smith, VMD, PhD at the Assoc. for Veterinary Orthopedic Research and Education (AVORE) Council Meeting, September 1990, from a large study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania of several hundred hip evaluations using the OFA scoring criteria. In Dr. Smith's study, the OFA prevalence figures were shown to underestimate the prevalence of hip dysplasia in 4 popular breeds by an average factor of 2.8 (range, 1.8-3.9). In other words, the true prevalence of hip dysplasia may be several times that reported by the OFA. |
