Abstract Objective To explore the risk factors of epilepsy (EP) after children's febrile convulsion (FC) and to early interfere it.
Methods Adopt survival analysis life span table and survival analysis and COX regression to implement 5 years to 17 years and 5 months followed-up for clinical data in 253 FC patient children who were in our hospital from January 1988 to June 2000;take the first FC onset as starting point for following up;take hospitalization again or family visit as way of following up;observe annual incidence of epilepsy after febrile convulsion;collect the following data: duration,the grand total,temperature,frequency in 24 hours for the first FC onset,primary age,convulsion family history,form,EEG in 48 hours for the first FC onset,sex,primary disease of seizures,etc.
Results 19 of 253 FC cases were secondary EP.The 5th,10th and 17th annual incidence was 0.53%,1.69%,8.70% respectively. After analysis was completed,FC duration and the grand total respectively were P<0.05 and P<0.01,B was respectively negative and positive,RR<1 and RR>1,and 95% confidence interval excluded 1 in both.For both FC seizures form and convulsion family history,P<0.01,B was positive,RR>1,and 95% confidence interval excluded 1.
Conclusion Risk factors for secondary EP are as follows:long duration of seizures,more frequencies of the grand total,focal seizures and family convulsion history.
