Abstract
Febrile seizures occur in 2-5% of children aged 6 months to 5 years. Simple febrile seizures are usually benign, while complex ones may indicate an increased risk of epilepsy later. Factors such as seizure type, frequency, duration, neurodevelopmental delay, early age at onset, family history of epilepsy and abnormal EEG findings are found to correlate with a higher risk of epilepsy. This review highlights the factors that may influence the prognosis, with the aim of providing an evidence-based foundation for the assessment of children with febrile seizures.
