Table 4 Coronary artery abnormalities severity classification in different guidelines
CriteriaDescription
JMH criteria[14]Aneurysm definition
< 5 yr - ID > 3 mm
≥ 5 yr - ID > 4 mm
Updated JMH (2008)[93]Small aneurysm (dilatation with ID < 4 mm or if child is ≥ 5 yr of age, ID ≤ 1.5 times that of an adjacent segment)
Medium aneurysm (dilatation with ID > 4 mm but ≤ 8 mm or if child is ≥ 5 yr of age, ID 1.5 to 4 times that of an adjacent segment)
Large aneurysm (dilatation with ID > 8 mm or if child is ≥ 5 yr of age, ID > 4 times that of an adjacent segment)
AHA 2004 criteria[1]Aneurysm ID z score > 2.5 (as per body surface area adjusted z scores)
Small: < 5 mm
Medium: 5 to 8 mm
Giant aneurysm: > 8 mm based on absolute diameter
AHA 2017 criteria (Manlhiot et al)[13,68]No involvement (Z score < 2)
Dilation only (Z score 2 to < 2.5; or if initially < 2, a decrease in Z score during follow-up ≥ 1 thereby suggesting that coronary artery was dilated during acute stage though diameter was within normal standards and the diameter has regressed on follow-up)
Small aneurysm (Z score ≥ 2.5 to < 5)
Medium aneurysm (Z score ≥ 5 to < 10, and absolute dimension < 8 mm)
Large or giant aneurysm (≥ 10, or absolute dimension ≥ 8 mm)
