AI reads chest X-Rays to catch kawasaki disease earlier in kids
NCT ID NCT07405658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether an artificial intelligence system can spot signs of Kawasaki disease in children's chest X-rays earlier than standard methods. Researchers will analyze data from 20,000 children to see if the AI can predict the best time for treatment and reduce heart risks. The goal is to create a faster, more accurate way to diagnose this serious childhood illness.

Who is studied
The case group consists of children diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease (KD) over the past 10 years. The inclusion criteria include: Children diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease based on clinical symptoms and confirmed by medical records. The control group consists of data from patients with fever lasting ≥3 days, matched to the KD cohort based on diagnosis year, month, and clinical characteristics. The study focuses on examining the relationship between chest X-ray features and Kawasaki Disease in these patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Case group * The age of seeking medical treatment is less than or equal to 18 years old; ·The medical record system diagnosis contains the diagnosis of "Kawasaki Disease", "mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome" or "IVIG non-response Kawasaki disease" * At least one complete chest X-ray examination data (images and reports) is available during the same hospitalization 2. Control group * The age of seeking medical treatment is less than or equal to 18 years old * The same period as the case group * Fever lasts for 3 days or more * Rule out the possibility of diagnosing Kawasaki disease Exclusion Criteria: 1. Case group * Chest X-ray quality issues: Severe artifacts, overexposure/underexposure leading to inability to assess key structures * Incomplete clinical information, including lack of chest X-ray examination, laboratory tests, and unclear days of fever Inability to determine the final diagnosis (such as loss to follow-up, diagnosis in doubt) 2. Control group * Chest X-ray quality issues: Severe artifacts, overexposure/underexposure leading to inability to assess key structures * Incomplete clinical information, including lack of chest X-ray examination, laboratory tests, and unclear days of fever * Inability to make a clear final diagnosis (such as loss to follow-up, questionable diagnosis)
