Key result
A longer time interval from acute Kawasaki disease diagnosis to coronary artery bypass grafting significantly predicted preoperative ventricular functional deterioration (OR 1.54).
Why the study?
Does a shorter time interval from acute Kawasaki disease to CABG prevent ventricular functional deterioration and improve outcomes in patients with Kawasaki coronary disease?

Longer delay to CABG was associated with preoperative LV deterioration in Kawasaki disease; leaves open optimal timing pending prospective studies.

Odds Ratio: 1.54 (95% CI 1.01–2.35)

A shorter interval between acute Kawasaki disease and CABG is associated with significantly less preoperative left ventricular functional deterioration and fewer myocardial infarctions.
Yamauchi et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in Kawasaki coronary artery disease (n=21). Long time range from acute Kawasaki disease to CABG vs. Short time range from acute Kawasaki disease to CABG was evaluated on Preoperative ventricular functional deterioration (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.01-2.35, p=<0.05). A longer time interval from acute Kawasaki disease diagnosis to coronary artery bypass grafting significantly predicted preoperative ventricular functional deterioration (OR 1.54).
