Factors associated with a significant increase in risk of a first febrile seizure were febrile seizures in first-degree relative(odds ratio[OR],4.5) or second-degree relative(OR,3.5);neonatal discharge at 28 days or later (OR,5.6);parental report of"slow"development(OR,4.9);and day-care attendance(OR,3.1).For children with two risk factors(as estimated 3%of the population),the risk of developing febrile seizures is approximately 28%(assuming a population incidence of febrile seizures of 4%). |
