Abstract

Objectives: Prior research investigating the variance in febrile seizure (FS) incidence between 6-month-old exclusively breastfed (EBF) and partially breastfed children has yielded inconsistent findings. To fill this void, this study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Materials & methods: This study performed a search across electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar without any restrictions, from the year 2000 up to January 2024.

Results: Thirteen studies were reviewed. Regarding six articles (data number=1876753) used in the meta-analysis, EBF (OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.85) and partial breastfeeding (OR=0.92, 96% CI: 0.91, 94) were both significantly associated with lower risks of FS. However, the association in the EBF group was stronger.

Conclusion: Breastfeeding positively affects lowering the risk of FS. Encouraging mothers to breastfeed and implementing preventive strategies can be beneficial for health policymakers in reducing the incidence of FS.

6个月纯母乳喂养对热性惊厥的影响：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：先前的研究调查了6个月纯母乳喂养（EBF）和部分母乳喂养儿童的热性惊厥（FS）发病率差异，结果不一致。为了填补这一空白，本研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。材料与方法：本研究对2000年至2024年1月期间的PubMed、Scopus、Cochrane Library和谷歌Scholar等电子数据库进行了检索，没有任何限制。结果：回顾了13项研究。在meta分析中使用的6篇文章（数据数=1876753）中，EBF （OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.85）和部分母乳喂养（OR=0.92, 96% CI: 0.91, 94）均与FS风险降低显著相关。然而，EBF组的相关性更强。结论：母乳喂养对降低FS风险有积极作用。鼓励母亲母乳喂养和实施预防战略可能有利于卫生政策制定者减少FS的发病率。
