NPPB and Kawasaki disease: Using DC ≤ 4.37 ms, PNN50 ≤ 1%, NT-proBNP > 684 pg/ml and CRP > 5.3 mg/dl as binary independent variable, multivariate Logistic regression for CAL in acute phase of Kawasaki disease was analyzed is presented in Table 3.The results showed that DC ≤ 4.37 ms (P = 0.024) and NT-proBNP > 684 pg/ml (P = 0.032) are independent predictors of CAL in KD children.
