ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To systematically assess the risk factors for secondary epilepsy in children with febrile seizures, in order to promptly identify early signs of epilepsy and establish a reliable foundation for timely clinical intervention and improved prognosis.METHODS:
The databases, including CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies, up to October 2023. Two researchers independently collected and extracted data from selected studies, adhering to predefined criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 15.0.RESULTS:
A total of 23 studies included 714 cases in the case group and 5269 cases in the control group. The results of Meta-analysis showed that preterm birth (OR=3.30, P=0.02), history of perinatal asphyxia (OR=3.94, P=0.001), age at the first seizure < 12 months (OR=2.93, P=0.003), peak temperature < 39â (OR=2.51, P<0.001), onset of fever to seizure < 1 h (OR=5.61, P<0.001), Complex FS(OR=4.08, P<0.001), duration of the seizure > 15 min (OR=6.21, P<0.001), Multiple seizures (≥2/episode) in one attack (OR=2.92, P<0.001), focal seizures (OR=2.53, P=0.018), recurrent FS (≥2) (OR=3.49, P<0.001), neurodevelopmental abnormality(OR=8.68, P<0.001), developmental delay(OR=10.04, P<0.001), family history of epilepsy (OR=2.74, P=0.004), family history of FS (OR=2.07, P=0.022), electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormal(OR=4.06, P<0.001)and Brain imaging abnormalities (OR=2.84, P=0.002)were Risk factors for secondary epilepsy following FS in Children. Notably, gender (female) was not a significant factor.CONCLUSIONS:
This study provides a comprehensive and systematic discussion of the risk factors associated with secondary epilepsy in children with febrile seizures. It actively formulates intervention measures for modifiable risk factors and conducts early detection and continuous follow-up observation for non-modifiable high-risk children, thereby reducing the risk of epilepsy.
