Abstract
Title: A Correlative study of EEG positivity among children with febrile seizures at pediatric ward, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. OBJECTIVES: To assess the EEG positivity among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward. To correlate the EEG positivity and febrile seizures among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward. To associate the EEG positivity among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward, GRH, Madurai and their socio demographic variables and baseline variables. HYPOTHESES: H1- There is a statistically significant correlation between EEG positivity and febrile seizures among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward. H2 – There is a significant association between EEG positivity among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward and their socio demographic variables and baseline variables. METHODOLOGY: Non experimental descriptive research design was used and to select 100 subjects by Non-probability (consecutive) sampling. RESULTS: There is a positive correlation between EEG positivity and febrile seizures, with younger children (t=1.99, p=0.05, r=0.32), more number of times take treatment for previous illness (t = 5.37, r=0.47) and more number of times suffered with respiratory infection (t=5.37, r=0.44) and also had febrile seizures frequently (t=4.26, r=0.35) with high temperature (t=4.19, r=0.49) and had more duration of time with febrile seizures (r=8.76, p=0.001, r=0.55). CONCLUSION: The study findings evidence that there is a statistically significant correlation between EEG positivity among children with febrile seizures at paediatric ward, GRH, Madurai.
