Comprehensive assessment of patients with Kawasaki disease without coronary artery aneurysm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the current guidelines, the management algorithm for patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) without coronary artery (CA) aneurysms primarily depends on the clinical experience of pediatricians. It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these patients to provide a higher level of evidence for their management. Therefore, our study aimed to assess patients with KD using multidimensional data and investigate their prognosis.

Methods

A total of 455 patients with KD were retrospectively recruited and divided into a non-CA involvement group (n=313) and a CA dilation-only group (n=142), with 16.1% (50/311) and 15.5% (22/142), respectively, undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations during recovery.
