Why the study?
Data on long-term outcomes and major adverse cardiac events in children with coronary artery aneurysms following Kawasaki disease in developing countries were limited.
What are the rates and risk factors for major adverse cardiac events in children with Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysms?
What are the rates and risk factors for major adverse cardiac events in children with Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysms?
In children with Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysms, the absence of IVIG treatment, presence of giant aneurysms, and bilateral coronary involvement are independent risk factors for major adverse cardiac events.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid risk stratification in Kawasaki disease with aneurysms; leaves open whether modifying these factors reduces events.
