Abstract:
Objective
To analyze the relationship between risk factors and prognosis of febrile seizures in children.
Methods
Totally 120 cases of children with febrile seizures who were admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from August 2013 to August 2015 were studied. The relationship of prognosis with first-onset age, initial body temperature, family history and disease history was analyzed.
Results
The followup time was 3 to 6 years, averaged (4.8±1.1)years. Among 120 children with febrile seizures, the prognosis was poor in 14 cases(11.7%). The electroencephalogram confirmed that 10 cases were converted to epilepsy and 4 cases were determined to have intelligence disorder. The risk factors of febrile seizures included first-onset age, initial temperature, family history and disease history, and the differences were statistically significant among groups(P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of children with febrile seizures were firstonset age <1 year, initial body temperature <40 ℃, disease history, and family history.
Conclusion
The risk factors such as first-onset age, initial temperature, family history and history of febrile seizures were closely related to prognosis.
