ObjectiveTo systematically review the response of Kawasaki disease (KD) after an initial standard dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and routine laboratory indexes.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases to collect case-control studies about the correlation between response of KD after an initial standard dose of IVIG therapy and routine laboratory indexes till 31st December 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. A meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsThirty studies were included. The results of meta-analysis demonstrated that the levels of hemoglobin (Hb) (SMD=–0.21, 95%CI –0.32 to –0.09, P<0.001), serum albumin (ALB) (SMD=–0.68, 95%CI –0.90 to –0.47,P<0.001) and serum sodium (SMD=–0.64, 95%CI –1.01 to –0.27,P<0.001) in IVIG non-responsiveness group were significantly lower than those in IVIG responsiveness group. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SMD=0.74, 95%CI 0.36 to 1.13,P<0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SMD=0.61, 95%CI 0.24 to 0.99,P=0.001) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (SMD=0.63, 95%CI 0.38 to 0.87, P<0.001) in IVIG non-responsiveness group were higher than those in the IVIG responsiveness group.ConclusionThe current evidence shows that low levels of Hb, ALB and serum sodium and high levels of CRP, ALT, and AST are risk factors of IVIG non- responsiveness in KD. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the conclusion.
