Management of Kawasaki Disease and its Cardiac Sequelae

The following are three performance measures or indicators for implementing this adapted CPG for

 KD management in children:

1.   Adherence to KD Guidelines

· Numerator: Number of children with KD who received treatment as per guideline recommendations.

·  Denominator: Total number of children diagnosed with KD

· Data Source: Hospital or clinic patient records.

2. Duration of Hospital Stay

·  Numerator: Total number of hospitals stay days for children with KD.

·   Denominator: Total number of children admitted.

·   Data Source: Hospital admission and discharge records.

3. Rate of Readmission

·   Numerator: Number of children readmitted with symptoms of KD within a certain period (e.g., 30 days) after discharge.

·  Denominator: Total number of children initially admitted with KD

·   Data Source: Hospital readmission records.

These key performance indicators are designed to measure the effectiveness and adherence to the guidelines, the efficiency of the treatment in terms of resource utilization (hospital stay), and the success of the treatment in preventing further complications (readmissions).
