Abstract
One of the most frequent acute neurological conditions among infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit is seizures. Seizures in the neonatal period can be caused by many different conditions, such as lack of oxygen to the brain before, during, and right after birth (asphyxia); cerebral stroke; or cerebral infection. A frequent question asked by parents after the seizures have ceased is whether they will return at some point during childhood.
In this study we examine the risk of epilepsy among children with neonatal seizures compared to children who have not had seizures during neonatal life, and we examine whether the risk of epilepsy differs between conditions known to cause seizures in the neonatal period. The study is based on registry data including all children born in Denmark between 1997 and 2018. We followed a total of 1 294 377 children of whom 1998 have had seizures in the neonatal period. Follow-up period was 22 years.
