General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
Does the combination of corticosteroid and IVIG/aspirin reduce the rate of heart complications in children/adolescents with Kawasaki disease across Europe compared with IVIG/aspirin alone?
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Inclusion/exclusion criteria and follow-up visits were carefully chosen to minimise the risk to trial subjects. Participants were closely monitored including daily assessments from days 1-5. The clinical examination explicitly prompted for symptoms related to possible drug toxicities. Rescue treatment was permitted at any time at the clinician's discretion and investigators were prompted to consider rescue at day 5 if temperature and CRP were still high.
