Objective. Febrile seizures are the most common type of convulsion in children. The identification of influencing factors on incidence of the first febrile seizures is of prime priority. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors of the first febrile seizures in Iranian children. Methods. In this case-control study 80 children aged 9 month to 5 years with their first febrile seizures were compared with 80 children with fever without seizure based on different risk factors in 2007. Results. There was significant difference between two groups regarding the gender, family history of febrile seizures, breast-feeding duration, and the body temperature (P < .05). Conclusion. Our study showed that factors including the gender, family history of febrile seizures, breast-feeding duration, and the body temperature are among the risk factors in occurrence of the first febrile seizure. Preventive measures to remove such risk factors could lead to lower the incidence of febrile seizures.
目的。热性惊厥是儿童最常见的惊厥类型。确定首次热性惊厥发生率的影响因素至关重要。本研究的目的是确定伊朗儿童首次热性惊厥的危险因素。方法。在这项病例对照研究中,2007年将80例9个月至5岁首次发生热性惊厥的儿童与80例发热但无惊厥的儿童基于不同危险因素进行了比较。结果。两组在性别、热性惊厥家族史、母乳喂养持续时间和体温方面存在显著差异(P < .05)。结论。我们的研究表明,性别、热性惊厥家族史、母乳喂养持续时间和体温等因素是首次热性惊厥发生的危险因素。消除这些危险因素的预防措施可能会降低热性惊厥的发生率。
