N2 - Pericardial effusion (PCE) can be associated with Kawasaki disease (KD). We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of the Pediatric Health Information System of children admitted with KD to determine the association between PCE and adverse outcomes. A total of 17 422 patients were in the cohort, of which 440 (3%) had PCE. PCE was associated with longer hospital length of stay (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.23; P <.01) and risk of readmission at 30 days (aOR = 1.42; P =.03). Black children were more likely to have a PCE (aOR = 1.54, P <.01) and longer length of stay (aOR = 1.05; P <.001). These data may support delayed discharge in children with PCE and KD in the hopes of preventing readmission. Special consideration needs to be given to how black children with KD are managed.
