title: [Convulsions in neonates and early neonatal mortality].
abstract: The relationship between the early onset of convulsions in the early neonatal period and mortality was studied in 130 (0.26%) children with the birth weight exceeding 2,000 g in whom early neonatal convulsions were recorded. Early neonatal mortality in this group was very high reaching 25.4%. The peak mortality was noted in the first 12 hrs after birth (80.9%) and in the first 24 hrs (60.0%). In the cases of a postponed occurrence of convulsions, the mortality rate of neonates significantly decreases (p less than 0.01).
