Abstract
Objective To study the predictive value of etiology and type of seizures for developmental outcome in full term neonates with seizures at 6 month of age. Design Prospective observational study. Setting Tertiary care centre, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. Participants Full term hospitalized neonates with documented seizures. Newborns admitted for complaints other than seizure, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) stage I, preterms and neonates born to mother on anti-epileptic therapy were excluded from the study. Results Out of total 108 registered neonates 14 expired and 10 lost to follow up. HIE being the most common cause and subtle seizure being the most common type of seizures. Among remaining 84 cases, 58 cases had normal and 26 cases had abnormal developmental outcome after 6 month of follow up. When classified this case on the basis of etiology and type of seizures and co-related them with developmental outcome, results were not statistically significant with p value of 0.1152 and 0.522 respectively. Conclusion Etiology and types of seizure when co related with developmental outcome did not show statistical significance in our study.
