Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological illness that is the most prevalent severe brain problem worldwide .The purpose of this research is to determine the importance of certain risk variables for epilepsy in children in Sulaimani City, such as age, gender, head trauma, nervous system infectious diseases including meningitis and unusual perinatal history, low birth weight, neonate respiratory failure, neonatal seizure, socioeconomic status, as well as parent consanguinity. This research was created based on 104 cases (where 51 of the patients were male, while 53 of the patients were female) among the inpatient and outpatient neurology unit of Dr. Jamal Ahmad Rashid Pediatric teaching Hospital from 20/12/2020 to 29/4/2021 . In this research, all the children were evaluated, as well as their medical & personal information were collected .A relation between the phenomenon of epilepsy with numerous risk factors were made; the ratio was calculated to determine the essential variables linked with epilepsy. Data was collected through interviewing of the patients then analyzed through the application statistical analysis descriptive. Results: age, head trauma, gender, febrile, positive family history for epilepsy, unusual perinatal history, and neonatal infection has been shown to have a statistically significant link to epilepsy. Conclusion: The majority of the samples was aged between six to ten while most of them were the middle child of their families. The results of survey also showed that most of the children were diagnosed between ages one to five while most of the samples have a generalized seizure. On the other hand, there was a statistical significant association between febrile convulsion and family history of epilepsy depending.
Recommendation: Health staff (maternity staff) should not be excessively forced to pull the child's delivery. Informing the child's parents about the disease so that they do not become worried about any neurological disorders, our recommendation for staff working neurology field neurologist when such child enter the hospital immediately and quickly and get the necessary treatment.
癫痫是一种慢性神经系统疾病,是世界上最普遍的严重脑问题。本研究的目的是确定苏莱曼尼市儿童癫痫的某些风险变量的重要性,如年龄、性别、头部创伤、神经系统传染病(包括脑膜炎和异常围产期史)、低出生体重、新生儿呼吸衰竭,新生儿癫痫发作、社会经济地位以及父母血缘关系。这项研究是基于2020年12月20日至2021年4月29日期间Jamal Ahmad Rashid医生儿科教学医院住院和门诊神经科的104例病例(其中51名患者为男性,53名患者为女性)创建的。在本研究中,对所有儿童进行了评估,并收集了他们的医疗和个人信息;计算该比率以确定与癫痫相关的基本变量。通过对患者的访谈收集数据,然后通过描述性应用统计分析进行分析。结果:年龄、头部创伤、性别、发热、癫痫阳性家族史、异常围产期史和新生儿感染已被证明与癫痫有统计学显著联系。结论:大多数样本的年龄在6至10岁之间,而大多数是他们家庭的中间孩子。调查结果还显示,大多数儿童的诊断年龄在1至5岁之间,而大多数样本都有全身性癫痫发作。另一方面,热性惊厥与癫痫家族史之间存在统计学上显著的相关性。建议:不应过度强迫卫生工作人员(产科工作人员)拉孩子分娩。将疾病告知孩子的父母,这样他们就不会担心任何神经系统疾病,当孩子立即快速进入医院并得到必要的治疗时,我们建议从事神经科现场神经学家工作的工作人员。
