Developmental evaluation in children experiencing febrile convulsions

CONCLUSIONS: Although FC is known to usually having a good prognosis, the low DDST II test results measured in this study indicated that the FC may pose a developmental risk and patients with FC should be followed up in terms of developmental features. Because of the retrospective nature of the study, there was no `preconvulsion` developmental evaluation. This is a major limitation of our study.PMID:34449142 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2021.04.007
