Objective:
To investigate the clinical correlation between the occurrence of coronary artery lesions and platelet levels in children with Kawasaki disease.
Key Findings:
- Platelet parameters in KD children were significantly higher than in healthy controls (all P < 0.05).
- The lesion group had significantly higher platelet parameters compared to the non-lesion group (all P < 0.05).
- The Harada score was significantly higher in the lesion group than in the non-lesion group (P < 0.05).
- Multivariate binary logistic regression showed significant correlations between PLT, MPV, PCT, PDW and coronary artery lesions (P < 0.05).
Interpretation:
Limitations:
- The study is retrospective and may be subject to selection bias.
- No a priori sample size calculation was performed.
Conclusion:
