Febrile seizure outcomes similar with or without association to vaccination

Question clinique

In young children, are vaccine-associated febrile seizures more concerning than febrile seizures not associated with vaccination?

L’Essentiel

In this study, the relatively few febrile seizures associated with vaccination were not different with regard to hospitalization, length of stay, intensive care requirement, repeat febrile seizure, or the need for seizure prophylaxis on discharge as compared with febrile seizures not associated with vaccination. 1b-

Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated

It would be tremendously enlightening to know what the incidence of febrile seizures are among completely unvaccinated children compared to partially vaccinated compared to fully vaccinated. And then to look at hospitalization, length of stay, ICU requirement, repeat seizure and need for prophylaxis on discharge.
