Summary
This study looked at whether adding a steroid called prednisolone to the usual treatment (immunoglobulin and aspirin) could reduce heart artery damage in children with Kawasaki disease. Over 3,200 children took part. The goal was to see if the combination therapy lowers the chance of coronary artery lesions, which can lead to long-term heart problems.
