OBJECTIVE: To determine the value of a commercially available test for measurement of luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations for its use in distinguishing between ovariectomized and sexually intact bitches. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal cohort study. ANIMALS: 101 sexually intact bitches and 199 ovariectomized bitches PROCEDURE: A commercial test kit was used to assay serum samples for LH concentration. A kappa test was used to assess the consistency of test interpretations. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and consistency of test interpretation in the sample population and in 2 theoretical populations of bitches with differing frequencies of ovarian removal were determined. RESULTS: The test had excellent sensitivity (98%) b...
