Duration of hospitalisation and decreased appetite predict administration of maropitant in Medicine ward. (a) Forest plot showing odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for variables significantly associated with maropitant administration in multivariable binary logistic regression analysis. Dashed line indicates threshold. (b) Kaplan–Meier plot showing duration of time to onset of maropitant administration in those dogs that received it (n = 37). (c) Violin plot showing duration of hospitalisation in dogs that did or did not receive maropitant. Solid red lines indicate median; dashed red lines indicates 1st and 3rd quartiles. Groups compared by Mann–Whitney U test. (d) Proportion of dogs that had decreased appetite among those that did or did not receive maropitant. Bars show proportion with 95% confidence intervals; groups compared by Chi squared test.
