Abstract EN
Objective.
Febrile seizures are the most common type of convulsion in children.
The identification of influencing factors on incidence of the first febrile seizures is of prime priority.
The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors of the first febrile seizures in Iranian children.
Methods.
In this case-control study 80 children aged 9 month to 5 years with their first febrile seizures were compared with 80 children with fever without seizure based on different risk factors in 2007.
Results.
There was significant difference between two groups regarding the gender, family history of febrile seizures, breast-feeding duration, and the body temperature (P<.05).
Conclusion.
Our study showed that factors including the gender, family history of febrile seizures, breast-feeding duration, and the body temperature are among the risk factors in occurrence of the first febrile seizure.
Preventive measures to remove such risk factors could lead to lower the incidence of febrile seizures.
