Abstract
Acquired cardiovascular risk is a concern for children with Kawasaki disease, which might influence obesity. Patients with Kawasaki disease in a single-instruction, retrospective cohort exhibited only a minimal increase in BMI z score in the first 6 weeks after diagnosis that resolved at 1 year. Neither corticosteroid treatment nor the presence of coronary artery aneurysms had adverse impacts on the BMI z score trajectory.
