CI presents the lower and upper values of the estimated parameter, i.e., if the experiment were to be performed 100 times on the same data under the same conditions, then 95% of the time estimate will be in that interval.
ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; CAL = coronary artery lesion; CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; IVIG = intravenous immunoglobulin; KD = Kawasaki disease; NT-proBNP = N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide; OR = odds ratio; PMN = polymorphonuclear neutrophil.
Statistical significances were *p<0.001, †p<0.01, ‡p<0.05.
