Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the clinical features of convulsion in rotavirus enteritis and the risk factors of multiple convulsion.Methods:The clinical data of children with rotavirus enteritis complicated with convulsion admitted to Xi'an Children's Hospital from January 2018 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether there was fever during convulsion, they were divided into febrile seizure (FS) group and afebrile seizure (AFS) group.Results:A total of 274 children with rotavirus enteritis accompanied by convulsion were enrolled. The male to female ratio was 2.26∶1 in the FS group, while the male to female ratio was 1∶1.1 in the AFS group. The median number of vomiting in the AFS group was higher than that in the FS group: 4(2, 6) times per day vs. 2(1, 5) times per day, P<0.01. One convulsion was dominant in the FS group (80.68%), and more than two convulsions in the AFS group (62.90%). In the FS group, 60.23% of convulsions occurred on the first day of the course of disease, while in the AFS group,79.57% of convulsions mainly occurred on the second and third day of the course of disease. There was no statistical difference in duration of convulsion and overall course of disease between the two groups ( P>0.05). The median of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in FS group were higher than those in AFS group: 5.52(1.45, 15.50) mg/L vs. 0.98(0.50, 3.17) mg/L, 0.17(0.07, 0.46) μg/L vs. 0.06(0.05, 0.15) μg/L. The median of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), uric acid (UA) and creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB) in the AFS group were higher than those in the FS group: 28.00(21.00, 34.25) U/L vs. 25.00(19.00, 31.00) U/L, 53.00(45.00, 62.00) U/L vs. 50.00(40.00, 58.00) U/L, 390.00(296.00, 474.25) μmol/L vs. 331.00(250.00, 399.75) μmol/L, 67.00(49.75, 94.25) U/L vs. 59.50(37.25, 78.75) U/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The median age and the median of UA levels in ≥3 convulsions group were higher than those in ≤2 convulsions group: 21(18, 26) months vs. 18(15, 21) months, 411.00(296.50, 496.50) μmol/L vs. 364.00(278.00, 440.50) μmol/L, while the median of serum Na +, the mean value of serum Cl - in the ≥3 convulsions group were lower than those in the ≤2 convulsions group: 135.50(133.75, 137.25) mmol/L vs. 136.60(134.50, 138.20) mmol/L, (103.76 ± 3.26) mmol/L vs. (105.08 ± 4.26) mmol/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The age ≥18 months in children with rotavirus enteritis and convulsion ( OR = 3.359, P = 0.002, 95% CI 1.544 - 7.307) and the serum Cl - < 104.8 mmol/L ( OR = 2.17, P = 0.019, 95% CI 1.138 - 4.138) had an increased risk of convulsions ≥3 times during the course of rotavirus enteritis. Conclusions:Rotavirus enteritis FS mostly occurred on the first day of the course of disease, most of them had convulsion once, hs-CRP and PCT were relatively high. In AFS, convulsions were more than 2 times, and occurred on the 2nd and 3rd day of the course of disease. ALT, AST and UA were relatively high. Children with age ≥18 months and serum Cl - < 104.8 mmol/L had an increased risk of convulsions ≥3 times during the course of the disease.
