Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We used the Diagnostic Procedure Combination database to identify KD patients treated with IVIG between 2010 and 2017 and further identified those receiving high-Na and low-Na IVIG preparations as their initial treatment. The study outcomes included proportion of CAAs, proportion of IVIG resistance, length of stay, and medical cost. Propensity score-matched analyses were conducted to compare the outcomes between the two groups. Instrumental variable analyses were performed to confirm the results.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: exclude patients with a suspected diagnosis of KD, inadequate treatment, and age over 6 years.
