Investigators at New York Presbyterian Hospital determined the effect of a first febrile seizure (FS) on development, using measures of cognition, motor ability, and adaptive behavior
Factors independent of the FS that were associated with group changes in function and delay in developmental milestones over time included poor socioeconomic status, TV watching, fewer books, and lack of breastfeeding
The mean decline over time in cognition was greater in children with complex FS compared to children with simple FS, and children with complex FS were more likely to come from low-income households
Summary
DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOR FOLLOWING FIRST FEBRILE SEIZURE Investigators at New York Presbyterian Hospital determined the effect of a first febrile seizure (FS) on development, using measures of cognition, motor ability, and adaptive behavior. Children (n=159) from a low socioeconomic environment, evaluated within one month of the ED visit for a first FS and one year later, showed no difference in performance compared to that in 142 controls.
