Risk factors for recurrence of benign infantile convulsions associated with mild gastroenteritis / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the risk factors of recurrence of benign infantile convulsions associated with mild gastroenteritis(BICE).Methods:From April 2010 to March 2015, 530 children with BICE admitted to Children's Hospital of Shanxi Province were selected, the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were followed up for 3.5~8.5 years.The risk factors of recurrence were analyzed based on the clinical characteristics of the children.Results:Of 530 children with BICE, relapse occurred in 29 patients(6.1%). The risk factor of recurrence was related to the age of the first attack ≤18 months(the age of the first attack≤18 months 8.3%, >18 months 2.8%)(χ 2=4.127, P<0.05), but had no relation with gender, onset season, frequency and duration of convulsion(all P>0.05). Conclusion:Children with BICE have the possibility of recurrence.The age of the first onset ≤18 months is a risk factor for recurrence, these children should be closely followed up and appropriate intervention measures should be taken.
