The Prevention of Coronary Artery Aneurysm in Kawasaki Disease: A Meta-analysis on the Efficacy of Aspirin and Immunoglobulin Treatment

Abstract

The incidence of CAA both at 30 and 60 days was significantly lower in low-IVIG than in ASA and in high-IVIG than in low-IVIG groups. Also, the incidence was lower in the single-IVIG than in the high-IVIG group, but this was noted at 30 days and not at 60 days. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of CAA both at 30 and 60 days between the high-IVIG-low-ASA and high-IVIG-high-ASA groups.
