Analysis of the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and febrile convulsion in children
Objective To explore the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and febrile convulsion in children.Methods 70 children diagnosed with febrile convulsion were selected as the experimental group,and 70 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.The serum vitamin D levels of children in the two groups were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay.The levels of vitamin D and the normal state of vitamin D were compared between the two groups,and the recurrence of the experimental group after vitamin D supplementation was analyzed.Results The vitamin D level in the experimental group was(18.57±2.97)ng/ml,which was significantly lower than(36.04±5.85)ng/ml in the control group(P<0.05).In the experimental group,the rates of vitamin D insufficiency and vitamin D deficiency were 31.43%(22/70)and 32.86%(23/70),which were significantly higher than 5.71%(4/70)and 1.43%(1/70)in the control group;the experimental group had lower normal rate of vitamin D of 35.71%(25/70)than 92.86%(65/70)in the control group(P<0.05).After vitamin D supplementation,the recurrence rate of febrile convulsion was 20.00%(14/70)in the experimental group,which was significantly lower than the pediatric standard of 29%-55%.Conclusion Febrile convulsion in children is related to vitamin D deficiency.The level of vitamin D in children with febrile convulsion is lower than that in healthy children.Reasonable vitamin D supplementation can reduce the recurrence of febrile convulsion in children.
