Development and validation of a nomogram for the estimation of the prognosis of patients presenting with a febrile seizure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Febrile seizures constitute a prevalent emergency in early childhood. Previous studies indicated that certain febrile seizures in children may progress to epilepsy, exerting a substantial impact on children's health and developmental trajectory. The objective of this study was to formulate a predictive nomogram to assess the likelihood of transitioning from febrile seizures to epilepsy in pediatric patients, thereby facilitating informed decisions regarding medical interventions for febrile seizures.

Methods

A total of 306 patients were enrolled and categorized into training (70%) and test (30%) cohorts. Clinical characteristics were subjected to comparison utilizing chi-squared and t tests. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify significant fac
