TL;DR: IVIG + PSL treatment was associated with improving clinical and coronary outcomes in patients at high risk of being IVIG nonresponders, and stratified initial therapy including PSL in patients with and without a high predictedrisk of being an IVIGNonresponder.

TL;DR: The authors' risk score can be used to predict IVIG unresponsiveness to a regimen based on a single infusion of 2 g/kg IVIG with equivalent sensitivity and specificity in both groups.
