Supports targeted surveillance for cardiac sequelae in Kawasaki patients >5 years; leaves open age-specific prevention mechanisms.

Structured PICO

P
Population
69,382 patients with Kawasaki disease reported to nationwide surveys in Japan between July 1982 and December 1992
O
Outcome
Cardiac sequelae (dilatation or stenosis of coronary arteries, myocardial infarction or valvar lesions) 1 month or more after onsetcomposite

The overall prevalence of cardiac sequelae in Kawasaki disease patients in Japan declined over a 10-year period, likely due to increased use of intravenous gamma globulin, though risk remained high in children older than 5 years.
