    Kawasaki disease can lead to coronary artery lesions, increasing the risk of serious cardiovascular events.

  • 2

    A nomogram was developed to predict the long-term risk of coronary artery lesions in pediatric patients with Kawasaki disease.

  • 3

    Significant predictors of long-term coronary artery lesion risk include male sex, prolonged hospitalization, and decreased hemoglobin.

  • 4

    The nomogram achieved an AUC of 0.801 in the training dataset, indicating high predictive accuracy.

  • 5

    The model's calibration and decision curve analysis demonstrated its potential for clinical application in identifying at-risk patients.
