In sick goats, the sSID variables explained 97% and 100% of the changes in blood pH and HCO , respectively. The results indicated that changes in the respiratory rate (16 respirations per minute), USI, and pH at admission were associated with increased hazard of hospital mortality in sick goats. The sSID approach is a useful methodology to quantify acid-base disorders in goats and to determine the mechanisms of their development. Clinicians should consider calculation of USI in sick goats as part of the battery of informatio
