Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to construct a novel molecular prediction model (scoring system) for accurately assessing the risk of coronary artery aneurysm formation during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease using circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis, and to validate its clinical utility.This model aims to enable early identification of high-risk patients and facilitate timely therapeutic intervention, ultimately contributing to the prevention of coronary complications and improvement of long-term outcomes in Kawasaki disease.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To elucidate disease-specific inflammatory patterns and cellular origins through cfDNA profiling in patients with Kawasaki disease, contributing to better understanding of disease pathophysiology.

To compare cfDNA-based findings with conventional clinical markers and existing biomarkers to assess their predictive superiority or complementary value.

To explore the potential of cfDNA as an early risk stratification tool, paving the way for future personalized medicine in Kawasaki disease.
