The risk of epilepsy following febrile convulsions
Open accessAbstract
A cohort of 666 children who had convulsions with fever were followed to determine the risks of subsequent epilepsy. High risks were found in children with preexisting cerebral palsy or mental retardation. Other major risk factors were atypical features of the febrile convulsions (such as focal seizures) and duration of febrile seizures for 10 minuts or more. The risk of developing epilepsy by age 20 was about 6 percent for all children who had experienced febrile convulsions. However, this risk figure consisted of a combination of 2.5 percent of children without prior neurologic disorder or atypical or prolonged seizures, and 17 percent of those with such complications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
