TI  - SnakeMap: four years of experience with a national small animal snake 
      envenomation registry.

AB  - SnakeMap is a national cloud-based, veterinary snakebite registry. It was 
      designed to prospectively collect data of the clinical circumstances and 
      temporospatial information on cases of snake envenomation in dogs and cats. We 
      herein introduce the project and summarise the data from the first 4 years of 
      SnakeMap. The registry is a veterinary community-based online database allowing 
      case entry from veterinary hospitals across Australia. Registry data comprise 
      hospital characteristics, patient characteristics, envenoming snake type, 
      treatment and outcome variables, including time and geolocation of the snake 
      bite. We present summative information on select key variables from the SnakeMap 
      registry (1 July 2015 to 30 June 2019). Twenty-eight hospitals from 6 
      states/territories entered 624 cases into the registry, including 419 dogs (67%) 
      and 205 cats (33%). Bite time was available in 216 animals of which 90 (42%) were 
      reported to be bitten in the 3 hours between 03:00 pm and 05:59 pm; median bite 
      to presentation interval was 60 (interquartile range [IQR] 30, 211) minutes in 
      dogs and 95 (IQR 41, 238) minutes in cats. Bites occurred in the owner's yard in 
      356 dogs (85%) and 53 cats (26%). A snake venom detection kit was used in 172 
      cases (28%) and antivenom was administered in 523 cases (85%). Most animals (n = 
      534, 88%) survived to discharge (median hospitalisation of 25 [IQR 16, 62] 
      hours). SnakeMap effectively collects relevant clinical data from dogs and cats 
      with presumed snake bite and provides locally specific information on the 
      epidemiology of snake envenomation in small animals.
