Background: The prediction of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and cardiovascular complications are critically clinical issues in Kawasaki disease (KD). This prospective study firstly aimed to determine the predictive ability of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) for IVIG resistance and cardiovascular complications and compare the prognostic accuracy of SII with that of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR).Methods: Patients with KD were divided into different groups according to the presence of IVIG resistance or cardiovascular complications (coronary artery lesions, valve regurgitation, myocarditis, pericardial effusion, and Kawasaki disease shock syndrome [KDSS]). The clinical and laboratory parameters were compared. Further analysis stratified by platelet level was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors for IVIG resistance and cardiovascular complications. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to assess and compare the ability of SII, NLR, and PLR for predicting IVIG resistance and cardiovascular complications.Results: SII was significantly higher in KD patients with IVIG-resistance, myocarditis, valve regurgitation, and KDSS. It was identified as an independent risk factor for IVIG resistance, myocarditis, and valve regurgitation. For KD patients with thrombocytopenia, there were no significant differences in SII between KD patients with IVIG resistance/cardiovascular complications and those without. The best cutoff values of SII for IVIG resistance, myocarditis, valve regurgitation, and KDSS prediction in the whole cohort were 1331.4 × 109, 1368.6 × 109, 1002.4 × 109, and 1485.4 × 109, with a corresponding sensitivity of 0.525, 0.614, 0.754, and 0.670, a specificity of 0.711, 0.723, 0.584, and 0.730, respectively. The predictive value of SII for both IVIG resistance and cardiovascular complications were not superior to that of NLR.Conclusion: Although the parameter of SII may predict IVIG resistance, myocarditis, valve regurgitation, and KDSS in KD as a single parameter, its predictive ability was not good enough and not superior to NLR. SII might not be applicable in patients with KD having thrombocytopenia.

Abstract Background: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, which defined that Kawasaki disease (KD) patients have recrudescence fever more than 36 hours after IVIG infusion, and its prediction is one of the primary clinical issues and study hotspots in KD. This study aimed to prospectively investigated the value of albumin-bilirubin grade (ALBI) in predicting IVIG resistance in KD, and assessed whether ALBI has more predictive value or accuracy than either ALB or TBil alone in predicting IVIG resistance.Methods: A total of 823 patients with KD were prospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between IVIG-response group (n=708) and IVIG-resistance group (n=115). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors of IVIG resistance. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was applied to assess the validity of ALBI, ALB, and TBil in predicting IVIG resistance. Results: ALBI was significantly higher in patients with IVIG resistance and was identified as an independent risk factor for IVIG resistance in KD. The parameter of ALBI ≥ –2.57 (AUC: 0.705, 95%CI: 0.672–0.736), ALB ≤ 33.0g/L (AUC: 0.659, 95%CI: 0.626–0.692), and TBil ≥16.0μmol/L (AUC: 0.626, 95%CI: 0.592–0.659), produced a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 0.617, 0.657, 0.226, 0.914, and 0.651; 0.374, 0.850, 0.289, 0.893, and 0.783; 0.269, 0.941, 0.425, 0.888, and 0.847, respectively.Conclusion: A higher ALBI was an independent risk factor for IVIG resistance. It yielded better predictive ability than ALB and TBil alone for initial IVIG resistance.

Abstract Background Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance prediction is one pivotal topic of interests in Kawasaki disease (KD) since those patients with KD resistant to IVIG might improve of an early-intensified therapy. Data regarding predictive value of procalcitonin (PCT) for IVIG resistance, particularly for repeated IVIG resistance in KD was limited. This study aimed to testify the predictive validity of PCT for both initial and repeated IVIG resistance in KD. Methods A total of 530 KD patients were prospectively recruited between January 2015 and March 2019. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between IVIG-responsive and IVIG-resistant groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the association between PCT and IVIG resistance. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was further performed to assess the validity of PCT in predicting both initial and repeated IVIG resistance. Results The serum PCT level was significantly higher in initial IVIG-resistance group compared with IVIG-response group (p = 0.009), as well as between repeated IVIG responders and nonresponders (p = 0.017). The best PCT cutoff value for initial and repeated IVIG resistance prediction was 1.48 ng/ml and 2.88 ng/ml, respectively. The corresponding sensitivity was 53.9 and 51.4%, while the specificity were 71.8 and 73.2%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis failed to identify serum PCT level as an independent predictive factor for both initial and repeated IVIG resistance in KD. Conclusions Serum PCT levels were significantly higher in IVIG nonresponders, but PCT may not be suitable as a single marker to accurately predict both initial and repeated IVIG resistance in KD.

Abstract Context Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary artery lesions (CALs) prediction are pivotal topic of interests in Kawasaki disease (KD). However, data on the predictive value of lipid profile for both IVIG resistance and CALs are limited. Purpose To investigate the predictive validity of lipid profile for IVIG resistance and CALs in KD. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting West China Second University Hospital. Patients 363 KD patients were divided into the initial IVIG-resistant group and initial IVIG-responsive group; repeated IVIG-resistant group and repeated IVIG-responsive group; CAL+ group and CAL- group. Main Outcome Measures Validity of lipid profile in predicting IVIG resistance and CALs. Results TG was significantly higher whereas TC, HDL-C, LDL-C as well as Apo A were significantly lower in initial IVIG-resistant subjects, with cut-off values of 1.625 mmol/L, 3.255 mmol/L, 0.475 mmol/L, and 1.965 mmol/L and 0.665 g/L, yielding sensitivities of 52%, 70%, 52%, 61%, 50%, and specificities of 68%, 53%, 78%, 71%, 81%, respectively. TC, LDL-C, and Apo A levels were significantly lower in repeated IVIG-resistant subjects, with cut-off values of 3.20 mmol/L, 1.78 mmol/L, 0.605 g/L, producing sensitivities of 91%, 70%, 57% and specificities of 55%, 67%, 70%, respectively. Apo-A level was significantly lower in the CAL group, with cut-off value of 0.805g/L, yielding sensitivity of 66% and specificity of 54%. Conclusions Lipid profiles were significantly dysregulated in KD patients suffering IVIG resistance and CALs. Some of them, such as LDL-c and Apo-A, could serve as complementary laboratory markers for predicting both IVIG resistance and CALs.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) may significantly lower the frequency of coronary artery complications. However, some patients do not respond to initial therapy and are at higher risk of developing coronary artery lesion. A retrospective analysis of data from 419 KD patients was performed. The patients were divided into IVIG responders (n = 318) and IVIG nonresponders (n = 101). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed neutrophil percentage, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, heart rate, and body temperature were independent predictors of IVIG resistance. We generated a predictive scoring system by assigning 1 point for the presence of these parameters (neutrophil >80%, albumin <3.4 g/dL, aspartate aminotransferase >100 IU/L, heart rate >146 bpm, and body temperature >38.8°C). This scoring system had a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 64.8%, and a positive predictive value of 40.1% and a negative predictive value of 89.4%. Vital signs may be helpful to detect KD patients with IVIG resistance.

Aim: Recently, a new inflammatory and prognostic marker has emerged called as Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII). In the current study, we searched the relation between SII and Coronary Collateral Circulation (CCC) formation in stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Materials & methods: 449 patients with stable CAD who underwent coronary angiography and documented coronary stenosis of 95% or more in at least one major coronary vessel were included in the study. The study patients were divided into two groups according to the Rentrop score as well CCC (Rentrop 2–3) and bad CCC (Rentrop 0–1). Blood samples for SII and other laboratory parameters were gathered from all the patients on admission. The SII score was formulized as platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte counts. Results: Patients, who had developed bad CCC had a higher C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelets/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and SII levels compared to those who had developed well CCC (p < 0.001, for all). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of SII was an independent predictor of bad CCC (OR: 1.005, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.003–1.006, p < 0.001) together with dyslipidemia, high levels of CRP and NLR. In Receiver Operator Characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, the optimal cutoff value of SII to predict poor CCC was found to be 729.8, with 78.4% sensitivity and 74.6% specificity (area under ROC curve = 0.833 (95% CI: 0.777–0.889, p < 0.001). Conclusion: We have demonstrated that SII, a novel cardiovascular risk marker, might be used as one of the independent predictors of CCC development.

Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown origin. Although the treatment of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) significantly resolves inflammation, 10-20% of KD patients have persistent or recurrent fever after the administration of IVIG, and IVIG-resistant patients have a particularly high risk of developing coronary artery abnormalities. Hypothesis: The mechanisms of IVIG-resistant KD have been analyzed using the patients’ leukocyte samples. However, vascular endothelial cells (ECs), closely related to the vasculitis of KD, have not been examined in the previous reports. We propose a hypothesis that ECs are mainly involved in the etiology of IVIG-resistance. Methods: The purpose of this study is to establish new in vitro disease models of vasculitis using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, and clarify the mechanisms of IVIG-resistance in KD. Dermal fibroblasts or T cells from 2 IVIG-resistant and 2 IVIG-responsive KD patients were reprogrammed by episomal vectors encoding Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, L-Myc, LIN28, and p53 shRNA. The iPSC lines were then differentiated into ECs by using a previously-reported differentiation method, and the EC samples were subjected to the microarray analyses. Results: The KD patient-derived iPSCs could be differentiated into ECs. The gene expression profiles were compared between iPS-derived ECs (iPS-ECs) generated from IVIG-resistant and IVIG-responsive KD patients. We found that 107 genes were at least two fold up-regulated and 101 genes were at least two fold down-regulated in iPS-ECs from IVIG-resistant KD patients compared with those from IVIG-responsive patients. The Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was performed, but the gene expression levels showed no significant differences between the groups. The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that the gene sets related to IL-6, NRAS (a member of the RAS oncogene family) and breast cancer were up-regulated in iPS-ECs from IVIG-resistant KD patients. Conclusions: Taking into account that the concentration of IL-6 has been reported to be elevated in acute phase of IVIG-resistant KD, our results suggest that the up-regulation of IL-6 related genes in ECs might be involved in the pathogenesis of IVIG-resistant KD.

Introduction: The incidence of Kawasaki disease (KD) in China is increasing for years. The current coronary artery lesion (CAL) incidence is 5-10% in KD with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. And the 10-20% KD patients still exhibit IVIG resistance. However, little clinical evidence on the occurrence of either CAL or IVIG resistance for big KD sample study in China during the past decade. Objective: In order to find clinical risk factors of CAL and IVIG resistance of KD in China. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and complications of cardiac vascular of 602 KD cases from 2007 to 2012 admitted at Shanghai Children’s Hospital. The SAS 9.2 edition was used for statistical analysis. The mean ± standard deviation or the median were used for measurements. Case numbers and percentages were used for the count number. The t-test and the Mann-Whitney test were both used for mean comparisons. Single factor and multi-factor logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors. Results: 1. The KD gender male to female ratio was 1.85: 1. The KD median age was 2.0 years old (one month to 11.7 years old). 20.1% cases (121 of 602) exhibited CAL. There was no difference of CAL incidence between the gender (p=0.09). 2. The incidence of bright red cracked lips (p=0.001), peeling of the skin of the toes (p=0.021) and perianal skin peeling (p=0.031) are less in group with CAL. 3. Among the 602 cases, there were 525 cases that were sensitive to IVIG therapy. 100 of those cases had CAL with an incidence of 19.1%. Among the 26 IVIG resistance cases, there were 9 cases with CAL with an incidence of 34.6%, which was higher than the IVIG sensitive group (p=0.05). 4. ESR (p=0.014), CRP (p=0.017), PLT (p=0.003) and Hb (p=0.032) were much higher in the IVIG resistance group than the IVIG sensitive group, even though the IVIG resistance group started the IVIG treatment earlier (p=0.003). 5. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to show that GPT≥80IU/L was the independent risk factor of IVIG resistance, risk ratio was 2.945 (p=0.012) . Conclusion: This research suggests that risk factors of clinical evidence for IVIG resistance and CAL in KD.
