Risk Factors and Regression of Coronary Aneurysms in Infants With Kawasaki Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) aged below 1 year and identify risk factors for coronary aneurysm (CA) and its associated prognosis.

Methods

A retrospective study enrolling infants (under 1 year of age) with KD admitted to a children's hospital between January 1, 2012, and August 30, 2024, was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups based on CA presence. Clinical records, including demographics, clinical manifestations, treatments, laboratory parameters, and cardiac ultrasound examination, were collected and analyzed.

Results

Of 381 infants with KD, 96 developed CA. Male sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.982, p = 0.04), duration of fever (aOR = 1.143, p = 0.03), ill
