Scientific Reports

Abstract

Coronary artery lesions (CAL) represent the most severe complication of Kawasaki disease (KD). This study aims to analyze the relationship between serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and CAL in KD, and develop a predictive model to provide a scientific basis for clinical risk assessment and personalized treatment of KD.
