Reliably prediction models for coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) in children aged >5 years with Kawasaki disease (KD) are still lacking. This study aimed to develop a nomogram model predicting CAA at 4 8 weeks of illness KD older than 5 years.
Abstract Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that predominantly affects children, and no specific diagnostic biomarkers for KD are available. Platelet-derived growth factor CC (PDGF-CC) a peptide with angiogenic properties has been amply demonstrated to play critical role in the cardiovascular system. This study aimed investigate serum expression PDGF-CC children evaluate ability diagnose KD. Methods A total 96 subjects, including 59 patients,...
