AbstractBackground:Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis of childhood and is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in the developed countries.Methods:Data from hospital discharge records were obtained from the National Kids Inpatient Database for years 2009 and 2012. Hospitalisations by months, hospital regions, timing of admission, insurance types, and ethnicity were analysed. Length of stay and total charges were also analysed.Results:There were 10,486 cases of Kawasaki disease from 12,678,005 children hospitalisation. Kawasaki disease was more common between 0 and 5 years old, in male, and in Asian. The January–March quarter had the highest rate compared to the lowest in the July–September quarter (OR=1.62, p < 0.001). Admissions on the weekend had longer length of stay [4.1 days (95 % CI: 3.97–4.31)] as compared to admissions on a weekday [3.72 days (95 % CI: 3.64–3.80), p < 0.001]. Blacks had the longest length of stay and whites had the shortest [4.33 days (95 % CI: 4.12–4.54 days) versus 3.60 days (95 % CI: 3.48–3.72 days), p < 0.001]. Coronary artery aneurysm was identified in 2.7 % of all patients with Kawasaki disease. Children with coronary artery aneurysm were hospitalised longer and had higher hospital charge. Age, admission during weekend, and the presence of coronary artery aneurysm had significant effect on the length of stay.Conclusions:This report provides the most updated epidemiological information on Kawasaki disease hospitalisation. Age, admissions during weekend, and the presence of coronary artery aneurysm are significant contributors to the length of stay.

Increased Risk

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis syndrome that predominantly affects children younger than 5 years of age, and may causes serious, sometimes life-threatening, cardiac sequela associated with coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). To identify genetic variants that confers a highly increased risk of coronary artery aneurysm-related in Kawasaki disease. In this study, we carried out genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a Korean children population including 102 CAA-related KD cases and 126 controls. Fifteen genetic loci were found to be significantly correlated with KD risk (P<1.0X10(-7)). Our case-control study revealed that rs4236089 C allele in chloride intracellular channel 5 (CLIC5) gene at 6p21.1 was significantly associated with KD patients with CAA (odds ratio (OR)=4.6, P=7.53X10(-7)). These findings suggest that the CLIC5 gene may play a crucial role in CAA development pathway of KD.
