A case-control, retrospective study included 66 patients with KD-related CAAs. A total of 98 hospitalized patients were matched as controls based on age and sex: 49 patients were allocated to a group with pneumonia and 49 patients were allocated to a group with arterio-arterial fistula.

The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 3.73 (1.93) years. At baseline, children and parents as their proxies reported similar HRQOL scores for KD-related CAAs and arterio-arterial fistula that were considerably lower than for pneumonia, respectively. At long-term follow-up, children in the small and medium-sized aneurysms group reported a mean (SD) score of 81.61 (19.50), which was comparable to the arterio-arterial fistula group (83.32 [18.24]), 9.51 points lower than that of the pneumonia group (<i>P</i> = .014), and 9.70 points higher than that of the giant aneurysms group (<i>P</i> = .012).
