Evaluating the performance of egami, kobayashi and sano scores in predicting IVIG resistance in infant kawasaki disease

Existing Japanese risk scoring systems and our newly developed score showed limited effectiveness in predicting IVIG resistance in infant KD. The high proportion of incomplete presentation and IVIG resistance in infants highlights the need for age-specific risk assessment and management. Further research is necessary to develop more sophisticated, dedicated prediction model for IVIG resistance in infants with KD.
