Core Tip	Kawasaki disease (KD) is a critical pediatric vasculitis, with coronary artery lesions (CALs) as its most severe complication. The coronary artery Z-score is a valuable metric for assessing coronary dilation in KD patients. This paper reviews six Z-score calculation formulas, with a focus on their clinical applicability in different populations. A retrospective study from Suzhou, China, shows that the Kobayashi and Dallaire formulas offer the best sensitivity and accuracy for Chinese children, leading to better diagnostic outcomes and improved management of CALs.
