Males with Kawasaki disease develop coronary artery aneurysms more than twice as much as females
Males with KD are at higher risk of developing CAA compared to females. The majority of patients were presumed to be prepubertal, suggesting that hormonal influences are unlikely to be a significant factor. Future KD research based on biological sex categorization should focus on patient risk stratification and long-term prognostic evaluation.
