Kawasaki Disease (KD) is the most common acquired pediatric heart disease in the developed world. Rapid infusion of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin is the standard therapy. Different manufacturing processes of IVIG may influence their efficacy. This study aims to conduct a head to head comparison of two IVIGs, TBSF and Privigen, from a nationwide perspective. The main data source was the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan. A total of 3368 KD cases involving children under 2 years of age were enrolled from January 2015 to November 2020. The primary endpoint was IVIG resistance, which we defined as the total amount exceeding 26 g in one admission. The secondary endpoints encompassed two distinct criteria: coronary involvement, which was defined as the prolonged use of aspirin or anti-coagulation agents between 180 and 360 days after the index date, and recurrence, which was defined as readmission for IVIG therapy occurring more than 30 days after previous KD index day and continuing until the end of the follow-up period. Privigen demonstrated a lower IVIG resistance rate at 9.4% in comparison to TBSF, which exhibited a rate of 9.7% (odds ratio 0.72, 95% CI 0.52-0.99). Privigen had a lower odds of coronary involvement (odds ratio 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.82). There is no difference in recurrence rate (odds ratio 0.60, 95% CI 0.22-1.68). Privigen might have a lower rate of IVIG resistance and reduced coronary artery involvement. The discrepancy may be due to the concentration, the stabilizers, or the source of plasma. Further investigation is needed to compare the effectiveness of different IVIGs in the large randomized controlled clinical trial.
