Predictive value of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio as a biomarker for initial and repeated intravenous immunoglobulin resistance in a large cohort of Kawasaki disease patients: a prospective cohort study.

A higher CAR was an independent risk factor for both initial and repeated IVIG resistance. However, similar with that of CRP or ALB, the predictive value of CAR was not good enough for both initial and repeated IVIG resistance prediction in KD.
