Inflammatory syndromes, including those caused by infection, are a major cause of hospital admissions among children and are often misdiagnosed because of a lack of advanced molecular diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the utility of circul...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to leverage real-world electronic medical record data to develop interpretable machine learning models for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease while also exploring and prioritizing the significant risk factors.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a prominent therapeutic agent for Kawasaki disease (KD) that significantly reduces the incidence of coronary artery anomalies. Various methodologies, including machine learning, have been...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 10-20% of Kawasaki disease (KD) patients suffer from intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, placing them at higher risk of developing coronary artery aneurysms. Therefore, we aimed to construct an IVIG resistance pred...
INTRODUCTION: In Kawasaki disease (KD), accurate prediction of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance is crucial to reduce a risk for developing coronary artery lesions.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) has often been misdiagnosed due to a lack of the clinical manifestations of classic KD. However, it is associated with a markedly higher prevalence of coronary artery lesions. Identifying cor...
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis affecting children, which can lead to coronary artery (CA) aneurysms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has identified CA wall damage in KD patients, but it is unclear if these findings correlate with any dist...
Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. Coronary artery abnormalities are the main complication of Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease patients with intravenous immunoglobulin resistance are at a greater risk of deve...
A new method to predict coronary artery lesions (CALs) in Kawasaki disease (KD) was developed using a mean structure equation model (SEM) and neural networks (Nnet). There were 314 admitted children with KD who met at least four of the six diagnostic...
BACKGROUND: Horse serum-induced immune complex coronary vasculitis in swine is the first experimental model to mimic most of the pictures of Kawasaki disease. Immune complex mechanism has been implicated as one of the possible mechanisms in the patho...
