A classification tool for differentiation of Kawasaki disease from other febrile illnesses
Objective To develop and validate a novel decision tree-based clinical algorithm to
differentiate Kawasaki disease (KD) from other pediatric febrile illnesses that share common
clinical characteristics. Study design Using clinical and laboratory data from 801 subjects
with acute KD (533 for development, and 268 for validation) and 479 febrile control subjects
(318 for development, and 161 for validation), we developed a stepwise KD diagnostic
algorithm combining our previously developed linear discriminant analysis (LDA)–based …
