Epidemiology of febrile and afebrile convulsions in children in Japan
Abstract
Prevalence rates in all 3-year-old children in Fuchu/Tokyo, for a 6-year survey from 1974 to 1980 (total number examined, 17,044), were 8.3% for febrile convulsion and 0.9% for afebrile convulsion. The figures in boys were higher than in girls for febrile convulsion (9.0%:7.5%), but for afebrile convulsion (0.9%:0.9%). Prevalence in a Miyake Island survey for 10 years, from 1973 to 1982 (total number examined, 543) was 9.9% for febrile and 0.4% for afebrile convulsion. Correlations among prevalence of febrile convulsion, epilepsy, and epileptic EEG abnormality in healthy children were inconsistent in geographically isolated villages identified in Miyake Island.

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.
