Predictive factors of medium-giant coronary artery aneurysms in Kawasaki disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to examine predictive measures for medium and giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in Kawasaki disease (KD) patients.

Methods

Patients who were diagnosed with KD from 2015 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between medium-giant group and non-medium-giant group.

Results

A total of 1331 KD patients were investigated, of whom 63 patients (4.7%) developed medium-giant CAA including 27 patients (2%) with giant CAA. Sex, age, fever duration, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, platelet count, and albumin level independently predicted medium or giant CAA by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Male, age, duration of fever, IVIG resistance, platelet count, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte sedim
