BackgroundThe treatment guidelines for acute Kawasaki disease (KD) have been revised several times. Moreover, the criterion used to define coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) has changed from the coronary artery's internal diameter to theZ‐score. Treatment for KD and methods for evaluating CAAs vary between hospitals, so we investigated the actual status of acute KD treatment and development of CAAs under the 2012 Japanese treatment guidelines for acute KD.MethodsThe 24th Japanese Nationwide Survey on Kawasaki Disease yielded 2618 patients who developed KD in the Kinki area in 2016. We sent a secondary questionnaire to each participating hospital and used the resulting data to investigate the frequency of CAAs according toZ‐score, treatment by KD treatment stage, and predictors of CAAs.ResultsThe response rate was 80.0%. The data for 1426 patients without major data deficiencies were examined. The frequency of CAAs was 3.0% when based on coronary artery internal diameters and 8.8% when based onZ‐scores. Intravenous immunoglobulins combined with corticosteroids were administered as an initial treatment in 12.8% of cases and as a second‐line treatment in 16.8% of cases. Corticosteroids, cyclosporine A, infliximab, and plasma exchange were used at similar frequencies for third‐line treatment. A pretreatment maximum coronary arteryZ‐score of ≥1.9 and age <1 year were associated with significantly higher incidences of CAAs.ConclusionsUsing theZ‐score resulted in a threefold increase in the number of patients diagnosed with CAAs. A pretreatment maximum coronary arteryZ‐score of ≥1.9 and age <1 year are useful predictors of CAAs.
