Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to standardize how Kawasaki disease (KD) features and classifications are documented on treatment day and assess their impact on clinical outcomes, focusing on IVIG resistance and coronary artery abnormalities.
- - Data was collected from 162 KD patients, categorizing them into four groups based on the completeness of their disease presentation and AHA criteria, revealing significant differences in inflammatory markers and autoimmune condition diagnoses among the groups.
- - Findings suggest that improve documentation may help in understanding the prognosis of KD, especially in patients with incomplete KD and normal echocardiograms, as they showed higher rates of subsequent inflammatory conditions despite lower illness severity indicators.
