Graduate Student Literature Review: A systematic review on the associations between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use at the time of diagnosis and treatment of claw horn lameness in dairy cattle and lameness scores, algometer readings, and lying times*
ABSTRACT: The objectives of this systematic review were to investigate the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use during the treatment of claw horn lameness in dairy cattle and locomotion score (LS), nociceptive threshold, and lying times.

| description | ABSTRACT: The objectives of this systematic review were to investigate the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use during the treatment of claw horn lameness in dairy cattle and locomotion score (LS), nociceptive threshold, and lying times. A total of 229 studies were initially identified and had their title and abstract screened. From this, we screened the full text of 23 articles, identifying 6 articles for inclusion in the systematic review. Of these 6, 5 reported LS, 2 reported nociceptor thresholds, and 1 reported lying times. The quality of evidence was assessed using a Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and CONSORT items reported for each included study. Due to heterogeneity between the studies, data were reported following Cochrane's Synthesis without meta-analysis guidelines. Identified heterogeneity between the studies included differences in LS systems and statistical analyses, length of time from enrollment to outcome reported, the NSAID used, concomitant treatments administered, and severity and chronicity of lameness. Recommendations are made with respect to consistency of LS reporting and analysis, along with improvements that may be noted with compulsory reporting guidelines. There were at least some concerns over the risk of bias in 4 of the studies, with risks of bias present in missing outcome data between the study groups. Within the 5 studies included with LS outcomes, there were 22 different pairwise comparisons with either NSAID or NSAID + block as the intervention, with measures of association with presence or absence of lameness as the outcome available for 20 of these comparisons. Animals in the NSAID intervention groups had a lower point estimate lameness risk than animals in the comparison groups in 3 of 8 and 9 of 14 analyses for LS outcomes <10 and ≥10 d post-treatment, respectively. However, there was no difference identified between animals in the NSAID intervention groups compared with the animals in the control group in any of these pairwise comparisons with lameness as the outcome. Twelve pairwise comparisons were reported in the 2 studies with nociceptor threshold as an outcome. Animals in the NSAID intervention groups had a greater nociceptor threshold point estimate compared with animals in the comparison groups in 6 of 6 and 1 of 6 analyses for outcomes <10 and ≥10 d post-treatment, respectively. However, no differences were identified between animals in the NSAID intervention groups and those in the comparison groups. All 4 pairwise comparisons reported in the study with lying times as an outcome found no differences between animals in the NSAID groups and those in the comparison groups. Despite the widespread use of NSAID in the treatment of claw horn lameness, there is a lack of studies of NSAID association with LS, nociceptive thresholds, or lying times. The limited evidence is consistent with no association with NSAID use and those parameters, but comparability across studies was limited by heterogeneity. |
