Abstract

Background Febrile convulsion (FC) occurs in about 2 to 4percent of all children, approximately one third of whom willthen develop recurrent febrile convulsion (RFC). Risk factorsfor RFC are family history of convulsions, an age of less than 18months, a relatively lower temperature and shorter duration offever preceeding the first FC.Objective The aim of the study was to determine the risk factorsfor RFC.Methods One hundred children aged 6 months to 5 years withFC or RFC were included in this case-controlled study, which wascarried out from July 2006 to June 2007. Data on the children'sfirst FC were collected from medical records and the family historywas taken directly from the parents.Results Fifty children with RFC and 50 children withoutrecurrence were included in this study. An age of less than 18months (P< 0.0001, COR= 71.37), a family history of FC(P< 0.0001, COR= 6.00), and a fever duration ofless than 12hours preceding the first FC (P< 0.0001, COR = 4.96) wereassociated with a risk of recurrence. A relatively lower degree oftemperature at first febrile convulsion did not increase the riskfor RFC (P = 1.21). Multivariate logistic regression showed thatyounger age and shorter duration of fever preceding the first FCwere associated with RFC.Conclusion Younger age and shorter duration of fever precedingthe first FC are associated with an increased risk ofRFC.

Abstract

Introduction: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of infant and child morbidity and mortality worldwide. Fluid administration is an important way to reduce morbidity and mortality in septic patients with low blood flow and shock, since sepsis is often linked to low blood volume. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between positive fluid balance and the outcome of pediatric sepsis patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of 80 pediatric patients diagnosed with sepsis using the 2005 International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference (IPSCC) criteria. The positive fluid balance value was obtained from medical records and was evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve method. Results: Positive fluid balance was found to have a significant link with the outcome of pediatric sepsis patients (p<0.05).The positive fluid balance value of ≥4.61% was associated with mortality in pediatric patients with sepsis, with a sensitivity value of 62.79%, specificity of 62.16%, negative predictive value of 58.95%, and positive predictive value of 65.85%. The value of fluid balance in the first 24 hours of Pediatric Incentive Care Unit (PICU) care was higher in septic pediatric patients who died compared to those who improved, but not significantly (p=0.37). The value of total fluid balance during PICU care was higher in septic pediatric patients who died compared to those who improved (p<001). Conclusions: Positive fluid balance with a cut-off value of 4.61% can be used as a prognostic factor in pediatric patients with sepsis.
