A prediction model for post-treatment presence of coronary artery abnormality before initial treatment in Kawasaki disease in Japan
The developed model accurately predicts post-treatment CAA presence, emphasizing the importance of early coronary <i>Z</i>-score assessment. It could guide intensive initial therapies to reduce CAA incidence, supporting KD management. However, further validation in diverse populations is recommended.
