- The findings highlight the importance of various maternal health aspects during pregnancy and their potential influence on heart defects in children.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines coronary arterial aneurysms (CAAs) in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD), highlighting their impact on patient prognosis and the factors influencing CAA regression.
- Analyzing data from over 1,000 KD patients across 44 institutions in Japan, the research shows that smaller CAAs are more likely to regress over a 10-year period compared to larger ones.
- Key findings indicate that early diagnosis (under age 1), more recent onset of KD (2010-2012), and female sex are linked to higher regression rates for CAAs, which can inform better long-term management strategies for these patients.
