Risk of coronary arterial lesions in immunoglobulin resistant Kawasaki disease

Objective: High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) decreases the risk for development of coronary arterial lesions (CAL) in Kawasaki disease (KD) while patients resistant to IVIG have higher risk. This study is aimed to investigate an additional therapy affects the risk for CAL in IVIG resistant KD. Design: The information from 11,510 children with KD was collected by the nationwide survey (2003-2004) in Japan. The secondary therapeutic strategies for IVIG resistant KD were an additional IVIG dose, steroids or both. The incidence of CAL was compared among 4 groups: G1, children responded to initial IVIG;G2, IVIG resistant patients receiving an additional IVIG dose;G3, IVIG resistant patients receiving additional steroids;G4, IVIG resistant patients receiving an additional IVIG dose plus steroids. CAL was assessed at 30th day of illness using ultrasound echocardiography. Results: 2229 patients (19.4%) were resistant to initial IVIG. Incidence of CAL was significantly lower in children responding to initial IVIG than in IVIG resistant patients (1.9% and 11.0%, respectively;odd’s ratio 6.3). The incidences of CAL in an each additional therapy group were as follows: G2: 6.7%, G3: 9.7%, G4: 22.2%. The risk for CAL was significantly higher in G4 as compared with G2 and G3. Giant aneurysmal formation (GA) was more frequently developed in G3 and G4 consisting of the patients receiving steroids (G1: 0.03%, G2: 0.63%, G3: 4.3%, G4: 3.7%). Conclusion: The incidence of CAL was considerably high in IVIG resistant KD and an additional therapy by steroids may increase the risk for GA.

Employing a random forest model to forecast the likelihood of coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease: a study centered on four biomarkers

Background:Kawasaki disease is an acute immune vasculitis,which is more common in children under 5 years old.Kawasaki disease mainly affects the cardiovascular system,especially the coronary arteries.Once coronary artery damage occurs,it can significantly impact the patient’s prognosis.Therefore,in some countries and regions,Kawasaki disease has become a common acquired heart disease.Methods:First,univariate analysis was conducted on each predictive factor.Then,Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator and random forest algorithms were used to screen all predictive factors,and the prediction model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve,calibration curve,and Decision Curve Analysis.Results:This study,based on data from 228 Kawasaki disease patients,utilized a random forest model to identify four predictive factors:white blood cell count,creatine kinase isoenzyme MB,albumin,and neutrophil count.These factors were used to construct a prediction model,which achieved an area under the curve of 0.743.Conclusions:We developed a forest plot based on white blood cell count,creatine kinase isoenzyme MB,albumin,and neutrophil count to effectively predict the occurrence of coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease.

A Meta-analysis of the Biomarkers Associated with Coronary Artery Lesions Secondary to Kawasaki Disease in Chinese Children

The biomarkers associated with coronary artery lesions （CAL） secondary to Kawasaki disease （KD） in Chinese children were investigated by using Meta-analysis. We searched documents published from January 1997 to December 2009 from medical electronic databases. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible full-text papers were identified. We conducted a comprehensive quantitative analysis by using Stata10.0 statistical software package to assess the heterogeneity among the documents, calculated the summary effect and analyze publication bias and sensitivity. A total of 92 documents and 16 biomarkers were identified. All documents were case-control studies, and included 2398 patients in CAL group and 5932 patients in non-CAL （NCAL） group. The Meta-analysis showed that the levels of platelet count, platelet hematocrit （PCT）, neutrophils count, platelet distribution width （PDW）, mean platelet volume （MPV）, erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）, cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTnI）, and endothelin-1 （ET-1） in CAL group were significantly higher than those in NCAL group, and serum albumin （Alb） and hemoglobin （Hb） levels were significantly lower in CAL group （all P〈0.05）. White blood cell （WBC） count, serum sodium, matrix metalloproteinase 9 （MMP-9）, total cholesterol （TC）, hematocrit （HCT） and CD3＋T lymphocytes percentage had no statistically significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, our results indicated that the 10 biomarkers including platelet count, neutrophils count, PCT, PDW, MPV, ESR, cTnI, ET-1, Alb and Hb were associated with CAL, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAL. The biomarkers of WBC count, serum sodium, MMP-9, TC, HCT, and CD3＋T lymphocytes percentage bore no relationship with the development of CAL among Chinese children with KD.

Twelve-year outcomes after revascularization for ostial/shaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery

Objective To evaluate a very long-term clinical outcomes of patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) with drug-eluting stents(DES) for ostial/shaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery(ULMCA). Methods & Results A total of 472 patients with isolated ostial/shaft lesions in ULMCA were enrolled, who received DES implantation or underwent CABG between January 2003 and July 2009 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. The major endpoints of this study were death, repeat revascularization, non-procedural myocardial infarction(MI) and stroke. The median follow-up was twelve years(interquartile range: 9.4–14.0 years) in the overall patients. There were no significant differences of incidence of death(23.3% vs. 25.6%, P = 0.227), repeat revascularization(27.3% vs. 28.4%, P = 0.423), non-procedural MI(20.0% vs. 14.5%, P = 0.561), and stroke(6.1% vs. 9.3%, P = 0.255) between PCI and CABG groups before multivariate adjusting. After adjusting covariates with multivariate Cox hazard regression model, there were still no significant differences between PCI and CABG groups. Conclusions During the median follow-up of twelve years, we found that PCI with DES was as effective and safe as CABG in patients with left main ostial/shaft lesion in this observational study.

Secondary coronary artery ostial lesions:Three case reports

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of coronary artery ostial lesions seen clinically.Secondary coronary artery ostial lesions are rare,and cases reported previously were associated with syphilitic vasculitis and aortic dissection.Here,we report three rare cases of secondary coronary ostial lesions.Due to their rareness,these lesions can easily be neglected,which may lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.CASE SUMMARY We present three patients with acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina caused by secondary coronary artery ostial lesions.In Case 1,coronary angiography(CAG)revealed 90%stenosis of the left main coronary ostium.Chest contrast computed tomography(CT)suggested thymic carcinoma invading the left main coronary ostium.Coronary artery bypass grafting and tumor resection were performed.In Case 2,echocardiography revealed a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm(SVA)-like dilatation.CAG showed a right coronary sinus giant aneurysm and complete obstruction of the right coronary artery(RCA)ostium.Aortic contrast CT confirmed these findings.The Bentall procedure was performed.In Case 3,CT CAG identified an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery(AORCA)from the left sinus of Valsalva coursing between the aorta and pulmonary trunk,causing severe RCA ostium stenosis by compression.Surgical correction of the AORCA was performed.CONCLUSION The cases reported here suggest that we should consider other causes of coronary ostial lesions other than atherosclerosis.

Drug-coated balloons for treating de novo lesions in large coronary vessels:A case report

BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty,while an effective intervention,can frequently lead to acute occlusion with severe consequences.Although clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of drug-coated balloons(DCB)in treating acute coronary artery occlusion and in preventing restenosis,there has been limited exploration on the use of DCB in treating de novo lesions in large vessels.Currently,DCB are only recommended for patients with small vessel lesions and in-stent restenosis lesions,those at high risk of bleeding,and other special groups of patients.CASE SUMMARY This report presents a case of successful drug-coated balloon treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels.Postoperatively,the patient demonstrated favorable recovery,with subsequent examination results revealing no significant differences from the previous examination.CONCLUSION The successful treatment of the patient in our case highlights the potential of DCB in the treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels.

PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY FOR COMPLICATED CORONARY ARTERY LESIONS

Objective To research the effect of percutaneous transluminalcoronary angioplasty (PTCA) on treating complicated artery lesions.Methods Type B or type C of complicated coronary artery lesionswere confirmed by selective coronary angingraphy in 16 cases with coronaryheart disease.Gruentzig’s method was used in carring out PTCA.Results Fifteen of sixteen and thirty-two of thirty-five parts ofcoronary artery lesions were dilated successfully,the success rate was 93.7%and 88.5%,respectively.In failed four parts of PTCA,three parts werebecause of the guilding wire or the balloon failed to pass the narrow arterythrough,the other one was unable to be performed for the occurrencedsevere arrthymia during the procedure.Four stents were implantend foracute accident.Symptoms of the successful cases were improved ordisappeared after PTCA.Conclusion PTCA is also fit in treating complicated coronary arterylesions and has a better therapeutic effect,but it has more complications andrun more risks relatively.

Echocardiography in Diagnosis and Prevention of the Coronary Artery Lesions in Kawasaki Disease

Kawasaki disease (muco-cutaneous lymph node syndrome, MCLS) was first reported by Kawasaki in 1967. It was characteried by nonvascular polymorphous rash, fever, ulcer in oral mucosa, edema of hands of feet, cervix lymphadenopathy and desquamations in peripheral extremities. Because of unknown pathogens, no lab examination was available as a single easily recognized diagnostic marker; the diagnosis is

Reevaluation of the Efficacy of Intravenous Gammaglobulin in the Prevention and Treatment of Coronary Artery Lesion in Kawasaki Disease

In order to objectively evaluate the efficacy of intravenous gammaglobulin (IVIG) in the prevention and treatment of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in Kawasaki disease (KD) and the related factors influencing the IVIG efficacy, 314 children with KD were reviewed retrospectively and comparatively and were divided into IVIG plus aspirin group and ASA group. The occurrence and restoration of CAL in these two groups as well as many laboratory and clinical indexes including average hospital stay (days), total fever duration, defervescence time, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein etc. were observed. The incidence of CAL was 39.5 % in the children with KD. In the IVIG+ASA group, the incidence of CAL was 34.3 % and 56.0 % in ASA group respectively (P<0.001). The incidence of CAL was reduced in the group in which 2.0 g/kg or 1.0 g/kg IVIG was administered as compared with the group in which IVIG was administered at a dose ≤0.6 g/kg or ≥3.0 g/kg (P<0.05). CAL occurred less frequently when IVIG was administered at 3-10 days of the course than that when IVIG was administered ≤3 days or >10 days (P<0.05). About 13.4 % of the CAL treated with IVIG was not recovered at the 12 th month of the course, mostly in the groups in which only ASA was administered and IVIG treatment was started 10 days later. The hospital stay (days), defervescence time, total fever duration, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein were significantly reduced in IVIG+ASA group as compared with those in the ASA group (P<0.05). IVIG treatment can remarkably shorten the course of patients with KD and decrease the incidence of CAL, but the efficacy of IVIG in the prevention and treatment of KD disease is not as expected by people, therefore, reevaluation of the practical efficacy of IVIG is required.

Impact of main vessel calcification on procedural and clinical outcomes of bifurcation lesion undergoing provisional single-stenting intervention: a multicenter, prospective, observational study

Background Few data on the combined effects of bifurcation and calcification on coronary artery disease(CAD)patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)are available.This study evaluated the impact of main vessel(MV)calcification on the procedural and long-term outcomes in patients with CAD who underwent provisional single stent PCI.Methods This is a multicenter,prospective,observational study.Patients with bifurcation lesions were enrolled at 10 PCI centers in China from January 2015 to December 2017.Intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography was performed in all patients to evaluate the MV calcification.Patients were treated with provisional single stent strategy using drug eluting stents and followed-up at 1 month,6 months and 12 months after discharge by telephone contact or outpatient visit.Repeated coronary imaging was performed within one year.We compared the procedural success rates in MV and in side branch(SB),and target lesion failure(TLF),defined as a composite of cardiac death,non-fatal myocardial infarction,definite or possible stent thrombosis and target lesion revascularization between patients with and without MV calcification.Results A total of 185 subjects were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study.MV calcification was detected in 119(64.3%,calcification group)and not found in 66(35.7%,non-calcification group)patients.The angiographic success rate of MV was 95.8%in the calcification group and 97.0%in the non-calcification group(P=0.91);the angiographic success rate of SB was 32.8%in the calcification group and 53.0%in the non-calcification group(P<0.05).During the one-year follow-up period,TLF occurred in 14(11.8%)patients in the calcification group and in 13(19.7%)in the non-calcification group{P=0.31).Multivariate regression analysis showed the same result(HR=1.23,95%CI:0.76-1.52,P=0.47).Calcification on group had higher recurrent angina than non-calcification group(13.51%vs.17.65%,P<0.05).Conclusions In patients with coronary bifurcation lesion treated with provisional one stent approach,calcification of MV is associated with lower SB procedural success rate,it could increase recurrence of angina;however,it was not associated with an increased risk of TLF.

Correlation between Hypertension and SYNTAX Score in Patients with Chest Pain Admitted to Cardiology Department for Coronary Angiography

Background: Hypertension is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. However, the diagnostic ability of hypertension for the presence and severity of CAD (coronary artery disease) has not been elucidated. This study investigates the relationship between hypertension and CAD complexity using the SYNTAX score to determine hypertension’s roles in coronary heart disease progression. Method: This is a prospective study that includes consecutive 410 adult patients at mean age (61 ± 11 years) who are admitted to Cardiology Department and undergo invasive coronary angiography (CAG) where a significant coronary lesion (SCL) is defined as stenosis ≥50% in vessel diameter ≥ 1.5 mm. The SYNTAX scores were calculated using the SYNTAX score algorithm. Results: The mean rank of SYNTAX score was significantly higher among hypertension than non-hypertension (mean rank: 279, 184, p = 0.006) groups. SYNTAX score was positively correlated with age (r: 0.263, p < 0.001) and LDL (correlation coefficient 0.102, p = 0.038) but inversely with HDL (r: 0.107, p = 0.031), in multivariate linear regression age (regression coefficient 0.3, p < 0.001), male (-4.4, p = 0.002), HDL (-6.4, p = 0.002) were significant independent risk factors for SYNTAX score, in ordinal regression model aging (odd ratio: 1.08, p < 0.001), being a male (2.84, p = 0.026), HDL (0.05, p < 0.001), BMI (0.86, p = 0.020) were significantly independent predictor of increase or decrease probability of falling in high syntax score group. Conclusion Hypertension affects the distribution of SYNTAX score among patients with and without hypertension, and the prevalence of significant coronary lesions was more frequent in hypertensive patients. Hypertension was not a predictor of significant or complex coronary artery lesion, but advanced age, being a male, HDL, LDL and BMI are considered as independent risk factors for high SYNTAX score, Subsequently and the complexity of CAD. Therefore, when patients with CAD have these factors, we expect that the Patient’s CAD complexity will be high.

Fundamentals of percutaneous coronary bifurcation interventions

Coronary bifurcation lesions(CBLs)account for 15%-20%of all percutaneous coronary interventions.The complex nature of these lesions is responsible for poorer procedural,early and late outcomes.This complex lesion subset has received great attention in the interventional cardiac community,and multiple stenting techniques have been developed.Of these,the provisional stenting technique is most often the default strategy;however,the elective double stenting(EDS)technique is preferred in certain subsets of complex CBLs.The double kissing crush technique may be the preferred EDS technique because of its efficacy and safety in comparative trials;however,this technique consists of many steps and requires training.Many new methods have recently been added to the EDS techniques to provide better stent scaffolding and to reduce early and late adverse outcomes.Intravascular imaging is necessary to determine the interventional strategy and postinterventional results.This review discusses the basic concepts,contemporary percutaneous interventional technical approaches,new methods,and controversial treatment issues of CBLs.

Shortened dual antiplatelet therapy in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention era

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is followed by a duration of dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)to reduce stent thrombosis and avoid target lesion failure.The period of DAPT recommended in international guidelines following drug-eluting stent implantation is 12 mo for most patients with acute coronary syndrome,and 6 mo for patients with chronic coronary syndrome or high bleeding risk.The new generation of drug-eluting stents have metallic platforms with thinner struts,associated with significantly less stent thrombosis.Shortened DAPT has been investigated with these stents,with evidence from randomised clinical trials for some individual stents showing non-inferior safety and efficacy outcomes.This has to be balanced by the effect of DAPT on secondary prevention of systemic cardiovascular disease especially in high-risk populations.This review will outline the current evidence for individual stents with regards to DAPT duration for both acute coronary syndrome and chronic coronary syndrome and discuss further directions for research and personalised medicine in this contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention era.

A Case Summary of the Application of a Drug-eluting Stent Combined with a Drug-Coated Balloon in Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a drug-eluting stent(DES)combined with a drug-coated balloon(DCB)in the treatment of left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of eight patients with left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions treated with a DES combined with a DCB who were admitted to our hospital from July 2016 to July 2017.These eight patients all underwent DES treatment for their left main coronary artery and left anterior descending coronary artery lesions,and DCB treatment at the ostium of the left circumflex artery;six of the patients underwent surgical procedures under the guidance of intravascular ultrasonography.Immediate postoperative angiography was used to evaluate the patency of the diseased vessels,and the restenosis rate at the 6-month follow-up after the operation and the incidence of serious clinical events within 6 months were assessed as well.Results:The use of a DES combined with a DCB in the treatment of left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions had a low restenosis rate(left main coronary artery(8.4±5.3)%,left anterior descending coronary artery(18.2±5.0)%,left circumflex artery(30.5±16.5)%).No serious clinical events occurred in any patients.Conclusion:A DES combined with a DCB is a safe and effective interventional treatment for left main artery coro-nary bifurcation lesions.

目的:探讨川崎病(KD)冠状动脉损害(CAL)的早期识别及其与单核细胞与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)比值(MHR)的关系。方法:选取2019年6月至2022年6月于南通大学附属医院住院治疗的KD患儿216例作为研究对象,分为训练集(162例)和测试集(54例),收集患儿临床资料。根据超声心动图诊断结果将训练集患儿分为CAL组(45例)和NCAL组(117例),比较两组患儿临床资料和实验室检查结果的差异,Logistic回归法分析KD患儿发生CAL的危险因素,采用Pearson分析KD患儿MHR与CAL的相关性。再按照MHR三分位数将CAL组患儿分为低MHR组(≤0.28)、中MHR组(0.29~0.42)和高MHR组(≥0.43),并进行分析比较。Cox回归模型分析KD患儿MHR与CAL风险的关系,并依据KD患儿发生CAL的独立危险因素构建预测模型。结果:162例KD患儿均有发热表现,且夏季为高发病期;与NCAL组相比,CAL组在年龄、性别、发热时间、KD分型、MHR、WBC、PLT、NLR、CRP方面差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05);Pearson相关分析显示,MHR与CAL组患儿冠状动脉扩张程度呈显著正相关(r=0.743,P=0.001),高MHR组KD患儿并发CAL风险显著高于低MHR组(HR=2.857,95%CI:1.329~6.431,P=0.003);Logistic回归分析显示,性别、发热时间、MHR、WBC、NLR及CRP是KD患儿并发CAL的独立危险因素;基于CAL的独立危险因素构建预测模型:Logit(P)=1.342+0.359×性别+0.181×发热时间+1.064×MHR+0.459×WBC+0.146×NLR+0.211×CRP,P=e logit(P)/1+e logit(P),该模型(AUC=0.874,95%CI:0.799~0.892),与测试集比较(AUC=0.881,95%CI:0.785~0.913),差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);MHR预测KD患儿并发CAL的AUC=0.796,灵敏度为0.896,特异度为0.824,其以作为KD患儿并发CAL的早期预测因子。结论:MHR在诊断KD患儿并发CAL中具有一定的预测价值,并能在一定程度上反映KD患儿并发CAL程度,因此临床上应及时关注KD患儿MHR变化。

血清硫酸吲哚酚、簇集蛋白与急性冠脉综合征患者冠状动脉病变的关系及对短期预后的预测价值

目的探讨血清硫酸吲哚酚(IS)、簇集蛋白(Clusterin)与急性冠脉综合征(ACS)患者冠状动脉病变的关系及对短期预后的预测价值。方法选择2021年6月至2022年10月郑州大学第一附属医院收治的120例ACS患者为研究对象(ACS组),另选择同期本院80名体检健康的志愿者作为对照组。采用酶联免疫吸附法检测ACS组患者和对照组受试者的血清IS、Clusterin水平。根据冠状动脉病变支数将ACS患者分为单支病变组(n=43)、双支病变组(n=49)、多支病变组(n=28),另根据Gensini积分将ACS患者分为轻度病变组(n=37)、中度病变组(n=48)、重度病变组(n=35),并根据院内短期预后将ACS患者分为预后良好组(n=85)和预后不良组(n=35)。通过单因素及多因素logistic回归分析ACS患者短期预后不良的影响因素,采用受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线分析血清IS、Clusterin水平对ACS患者短期预后不良的预测价值。结果ACS组患者的血清IS、Clusterin水平显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。单支病变组、双支病变组、多支病变组患者的血清IS、Clusterin水平依次升高(P<0.05)。轻度病变组、中度病变组、重度病变组患者的血清IS、Clusterin水平依次升高(P<0.05)。120例ACS患者短期预后不良发生率为29.17%(35/120)。单因素分析显示,ACS类型、Gensini评分、KILLIP分级、冠状动脉病变支数、IS、Clusterin与ACS患者短期预后有关(P<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,Gensini评分升高、IS升高、Clusterin升高、KILLIP分级≥Ⅲ级、冠状动脉多支病变为ACS患者短期预后不良的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。血清IS水平预测ACS患者短期预后不良的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.747(95%置信区间:0.529~0.946),灵敏度为71.43%,特异度为74.12%,准确度为73.33%,约登指数为0.455;血清Clusterin水平预测ACS患者短期预后不良的AUC为0.693(95%置信区间:0.439~0.951),灵敏度为68.57%,特异度为70.59%,准确度为7.00%,约登指数为0.392;血清IS与Clusterin水平联合预测ACS患者短期预后不良的AUC为0.825(95%置信区间:0.687~0.968),灵敏度为82.86%,特异度为83.53%,准确度为83.33%,约登指数为0.664。结论血清IS、Clusterin水平升高与ACS患者冠状动脉病变程度加重和短期预后不良有关,二者联合对ACS患者短期预后不良的预测价值较高。

目的 分析川崎病(KD)患儿血清小窝蛋白-1(Cav-1)、可溶性低密度脂蛋白受体11(sLR11)与冠状动脉病变(CAL)严重程度的关系。方法 回顾性分析2021年2月至2022年10月于济源市人民医院儿科收治的153例KD合并CAL患儿的临床资料。依据KD患儿CAL病变程度分为单支病变组(n=54)、双支病变组(n=68)和多支病变组(n=31)。对比三组患儿临床资料、血清Cav-1、sLR11水平。Logistic多因素回归分析影响KD患儿CAL严重程度的相关因素。受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析血清Cav-1、sLR11对KD患儿CAL严重程度的预测价值。结果 单支病变组、双支病变组和多支病变组患儿发热持续时间、C反应蛋白(CRP)、血小板(PLT)计数、红细胞沉降率(ESR)、血清Cav-1、sLR11水平依次升高(P<0.05)。多因素分析结果显示治疗前发热持续时间(OR=1.772,95%CI:1.054~2.982,P=0.031)、血清Cav-1(OR=1.139,95%CI:1.080~1.201,P<0.01)及sLR11(OR=1.251,95%CI:1.105~1.417,P<0.01)均为影响KD患儿CAL严重程度的危险因素。ROC分析显示,血清Cav-1、sLR11两者联合预测KD患儿CAL严重程度的AUC为0.910(95%CI:0.854~0.951,P<0.01)。结论 血清Cav-1、sLR11两者联合对KD患儿CAL严重程度的预测效能较高。
