The relationship of febrile seizures to later intellectual and academic performance was examined in a sibling-control study. Amont 431 sibling pairs tested at the age of 7 years, the mean full scale IQ on the Vechsler Intelligence Scales for Children was not different for children who had febrile seizures as compared with siblings who were seizure-free. Neither recurrent seizures nor those lasting 30 minutes or longer were associated with IQ deficit. Poor academic achievement, defined as Wide Range Achievement Test performance more than one grade level below school placement in children with IQs of 90 or above, was equally frequent in index cases and control patients. Febrile seizures were not associated with a decrement in IQ or early academic performance, as judged by comparison of affected children with their siblings.
在一项同胞对照研究中，对热性惊厥与后期智力及学业表现之间的关系进行了研究。在431对7岁时接受测试的同胞对中，与无惊厥的同胞相比，有热性惊厥的儿童在韦氏儿童智力量表上的平均全量表智商并无差异。复发性惊厥以及持续30分钟或更长时间的惊厥均与智商缺陷无关。学业成绩差定义为智商在90及以上的儿童，其广泛成就测验成绩比学校安置水平低一个年级以上，在指数病例和对照患者中同样常见。通过将患病儿童与其同胞进行比较判断，热性惊厥与智商或早期学业表现的下降无关。
