Detection of CALs at initial echocardiography in patients with KD was associated with younger age, delayed hospital visits, and having 3 or 4 principal KD signs. Timely diagnosis could be beneficial for patients, but those with specific risk factors were still at higher risk of CAL detection.
Background Detection of coronary artery lesions (CALs) at initial echocardiography can aid in diagnosing Kawasaki disease (KD) and inform primary adjunctive treatments. We aimed to characterize patients with KD with CALs detected at initial echocardiography. Methods and Results We analyzed data from the nationwide Japanese KD survey that contained information on 103 222 population-based patients diagnosed with KD across Japan during 2011 to 2018. Patients with CALs detected at initial echocardiography were assessed by age, day of illness, and number of principal KD signs (>= 3). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate factors independently associated with CAL detection. Overall, 3707 (3.6%) patients had CALs detected at initial echocardiography. Patients aged <12 and >= 60 months were associated with CAL detection (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI], 1.28 [1.18-1.39] and 1.32 [1.20-1.45], respectively; reference, 12-59 months). Patients with delayed hospital visits were increasingly at higher risk for CAL detection (days 7-8, 1.84 [1.63-2.08]; days 9-10, 4.30 [3.58-5.15]; and days >= 11, 9.12 [7.63-10.90]; reference, days 1-4). Patients with 3 or 4 principal KD signs were independently associated with CAL detection (1.75 [1.63-1.88]). These patients were significantly more likely to be aged Conclusions Timely diagnosis could be beneficial for patients with KD. However, even when the hospital visit occurred early in the course of illness, patients with 3 or 4 principal KD signs, especially younger patients, were at higher risk of CAL detection at initial echocardiography.
