Factors associated with change in coronary artery z-score over follow-up

Variable Hazard ratio (95% CI) P value
Early treatment (ref: single IVIG only)
 IVIG + steroids (n = 21) −0.4 (−4.6 to 3.8) 0.84
 IVIG + infliximab (n = 27) 2.62 (−4.0 to 9.3) 0.44
 Multiple IVIG (n = 132) −0.8 (−3.5 to 1.8) 0.53
 Multiple IVIG + infliximab (n = 9) 1.3 (−5.9 to 8.5) 0.73
 Multiple IVIG + steroids (n = 39) −1.1 (−4.8 to 2.6) 0.57
 Multiple IVIG + infliximab + steroids (n = 3) 2.8 (−6.8 to 12.3) 0.93
Late/rescue treatment (ref: single IVIG only)
 IVIG + steroids (n = 21) 4.6 (0.5 to 8.7) 0.03
 IVIG + infliximab (n = 27) −1.6 (−8.0 to 4.9) 0.64
 Multiple IVIG (n = 100) 1.2 (−1.5 to 3.9) 0.39
 Multiple IVIG + infliximab (n = 17) 3.5 (−2.2 to 9.2) 0.23
 Multiple IVIG + steroids (n = 75) 5.4 (2.2 to 8.5) 0.57
 Multiple IVIG + infliximab + steroids (n = 44) 6.4 (2.75 to 10.1) 0.55
Age at diagnosis (y) 0.90 (−0.2 to 2.0) 0.93
Maximum CAA z-score at first echo (per unit increase) −0.2 (−0.3 to 0.1) <0.001
Days of fever before IVIG 0.3 (0.1 to 0.4) <0.001
Days of fever after IVIG 0.2 (0.1 to 0.4) 0.002
Bilateral CAA at diagnosis (ref: unilateral CAA) 3.4 (1.7 to 5.1) <0.001

CAA, coronary artery aneurysms; IVIG, intravenous immunoglobulin.

Treatments were considered early adjunctive therapy if they were given within 3 days of initial IVIG.
