A comparative study of established score models for coronary artery diameters in 181 healthy Korean children.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the statistical properties of four previously developed pediatric coronary artery score models in healthy Korean children.

Methods: The study subjects were 181 healthy Korean children, whose age ranged from 1 month to 15 years. The diameter of each coronary artery was measured using 2-dimensional echocardiography and converted to the score in the four models (McCrindle, Olivieri, Dallaire, and Japanese model).
