Can a simple score predict which kids with kawasaki disease need stronger treatment?
NCT ID NCT06305611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two scoring tools (Kobayashi and Kawanet) to see if they can identify children with Kawasaki disease who are likely to resist standard IVIG treatment. About 10-20% of children don't respond to IVIG and face a higher risk of heart problems. Researchers will enroll 103 children from Europe and North India to check how well these scores work across different ethnic groups.
