Comparison analysis indicated the non-inferiority between two groups with or without high-dose aspirin.Administering the standard 2 g/kg/day IVIG without high-dose aspirin (80-100 mg/kg/day) during the acute phase therapy for KD does not increase the risk of coronary artery lesions, which are a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in KD patients.Addition of high-dose aspirin during initial IVIG treatment is not statistically significant or clinically meaningful.
