Abstract:   (1538 Views)
Introduction: Fever & Convulsion are the most common type of seizures and neurological problems of childhood and one of the most common reasons for admission to the emergency department and Neurology is a children's hospital. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for Fever & Convulsion in children aged 6 months to 6 years.
Methods: In total, 43 articles with a time limit of the last 5 years were obtained by deleting 9 articles whose full text not available; finally, 34 articles were included in the study
Results: Risk factors for Fever & Convulsion in children 6 months to 6 years old using a review of studies conducted in the period 2018 to 2022. Findings of this study showed that genetics, gender, iron deficiency anemia, previous history of Fever & Convulsion, young age (under one year), infections and perinatal complications are effective in the development of fever and seizures and are associated with hospitalization of the child.
Conclusion: The results showed that various factors are effective in the development of febrile seizures in children aged 6 months to 6 years. Fortunately, Fever & Convulsion are a benign disease in children that does not have long-term neurological complications and has a good prognosis.
