Prognostic factors for epilepsy following first febrile seizure in Saudi children

CONCLUSION: The rate of epilepsy following first febrile seizure in Saudi children is within the range of values reported in different populations. Although most childhood febrile seizures are self-limiting, careful observation is needed, particularly for children who exhibit factors associated with epilepsy.  LIMITATIONS:Conducted at a single center in Saudi Arabia, which may limit generalizability.
