PREDICTIVE VALUE OF THE EEG IN FEBRILE SEIZURES

这项基于人群的研究将评估EEG的重要性， 一个预测复发的癫痫发作的儿童谁有一个 单纯性热性惊厥 报告的结局为热性惊厥 复发和无热性惊厥发生。 脑电图的演变 将描述图案，并且图案将与图案相关联。 临床结果。 临床研究正在斯科普里进行， 南斯拉夫，在斯科普里大学儿科诊所。 该研究于1982财政年度开始，最后的随访访视于 1991财政年度。 患者招募于1984年12月完成， 约400例发热性惊厥患者，既往无复杂或 多次癫痫发作和正常或非特异性异常的EEC， 登记入组研究并开始研究方案和随访。 一个 另外300名具有特定异常EEG的患者被输入， 基线信息和后续行动。经过现场审查访问， 确定临床中心需要做出额外努力， 从那些没有回访的患者和那些回访的患者中收集数据 在研究入组后24个月内未进行回访。 的 已经完成了长期的后续工作。数据编辑和文件 创造已经完成。 基线脑电图的统计学分析及其意义 与儿童和家庭特征以及临床特征的相关性 已经完成了扣押的特点和手稿， 被接受出版。 关于初始 EEG到复发风险正在进行中。

This population-based study will evaluate the significance of the EEG as a predictor for recurrence of seizures in those children who have had a simple febrile convulsion. Outcomes reported are febrile seizure recurrence and afebrile seizure occurrence. The evolution of the EEG pattern will be described, and patterns will be correlated with the clinical outcome. The clinical study is being carried out in Skopje, Yugoslavia, at the Pediatric Clinic of the University of Skopje. The study began in FY 1982 and final follow-up visits were completed in FY 1991. Patient accrual was completed in December, 1984, by which time approximately 400 patients with a febrile seizure, no prior complex or multiple seizures and with a normal or nonspecific abnormal EEC, were registered into the study and began the study protocol and follow-up. An additional 300 patients with a specific abnormal EEG were entered for baseline information and followup. After an on-site review visit, it was determined that additional efforts by the clinical center were needed to collect data from those patients lacking a return visit and those who did not have return visits after 24 months following study entry. The extended follow-up effort has been completed. Data editing and file creation are complete. Statistical analysis of baseline EEG and its association with characteristics of the child and family and the clinical characteristics of the seizure has been completed and a manuscript has been accepted for publication. A report on the relationship of initial EEG to recurrence risk is in progress.
