Analysis of Risk Factors of Epilepsy Secondary to Viral Encephalitis in Children
Objective To investigate the risk factors of epilepsy(EP)secondary to viral encephalitis(VE)in children.Methods A total of ninety eight cases of VE children admitted to Binzhou Central Hospital from January 2022 to July 2023 were conveniently selected as the study objects to analyze the incidence of EP.Univariate analysis and multivari-ate Logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors of VE secondary EP.Results Of 98 children with VE,26(26.53%)had secondary EP.The family history of EP,the number of epileptic seizures>2 times and the proportion of no use of antiepileptic drugs in EP group were higher than those in non-EP group,the difference was sta-tistically significant(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that family EP history(OR=2.369)and the number of epileptic seizures(OR=3.415)were independent risk factors for secondary EP in children with VE(all P<0.05).The use of antiepileptic drugs(OR=0.127)was a protective factor for secondary EP in children with VE(P<0.05).Conclusion The risk factors of secondary EP in children with VE mainly include family EP history,the num-ber of epileptic seizures>2 times.The use of antiepileptic drugs can reduce the incidence of secondary EP.
