Comparison of Laboratory Findings for Simple and Complex Febrile Seizures

Key Points

• The central aim is to compare laboratory findings, specifically venous blood gas parameters, between simple and complex febrile seizures.
• Analyzed laboratory findings in patients with febrile seizures.
• Examined associations between blood gas parameters and seizure characteristics.
• Correlation coefficient calculated (r = 0.74) indicating association strength.
• Blood gas parameters are significantly correlated with seizure duration and severity.
• Findings may not reliably distinguish between simple and complex febrile seizures.
