[Proposal for a scale for the assessment and treatment of febrile convulsions].
Prophylaxis of febrile convulsions has been very controversial. Often this prophylaxis is given based upon subjective criteria and even in the same Department of Paediatrics, criteria are not uniformly carried out. We consider of great interest to value some circumstances of the febrile convulsions, which could be worth for valorating recidives. We have quantified some parameters, that can be obtained easily. Those have systematically been used in our Department, leading us to establish and score to determine the risk factors that lead us to use or not a prophylactic treatment in children with febrile convulsions.
