The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of hospitalizations for different types of convulsions in Italy during the years 2001-2010, especially in the pediatric age, with a focus on febrile seizures. National hospital discharge records of admissions for any type of convulsion from 2001 to 2010 were analyzed. The incidence rates were calculated considering the pediatric resident population estimated by the Italian Institute of Statistics in the studied years. 675,189 Hospital discharge records were analyzed, 256,126 of which had at least one specific diagnosis code for convulsion. 77 % of seizures were concentrated in the age group 0-3 years (618/100,000 inhabitants). The admission regimen was mainly ordinary (92 %). 97.6 % of admissions were <7 days and 91 % of hospital discharges were ordinary discharges to home. The percentage distribution of seizures showed a constant trend over the considered period. The code "febrile seizures" represented 71.9 % of all seizures in the pediatric population. 94.5 % was concentrated in children aged 0-5 years. The obtained data could be useful to put into the right perspective issues arising from the reports of febrile seizures following the administration of pediatric vaccines.
该研究的目的是分析2001年至2010年期间意大利不同类型惊厥的住院率，尤其是儿科年龄段，重点是热性惊厥。分析了2001年至2010年期间因任何类型惊厥入院的国家医院出院记录。发病率是根据意大利统计局在研究年份估计的儿科常住人口计算的。分析了675,189份医院出院记录，其中256,126份至少有一个惊厥的特定诊断代码。77%的惊厥集中在0至3岁年龄组（每10万居民中有618例）。入院方式主要是普通方式（92%）。97.6%的住院时间<7天，91%的医院出院是普通出院回家。在考虑的时间段内，惊厥的百分比分布呈现出恒定趋势。代码“热性惊厥”占儿科人群所有惊厥的71.9%。94.5%集中在0至5岁的儿童中。所获得的数据可能有助于正确看待儿科疫苗接种后热性惊厥报告中出现的问题。
