Figure 2 Multivariate logistic regression analysis of febrile seizure types in pediatric cohort aged 6 months to 5 years. Key findings include the 8.18-fold risk of female sex for complex seizures (P=0.035); 36% reduced odds with each duration of fever (DOF) day (OR=0.64, P=0.031); 8.76-fold risk with family history (FamHis) (P=0.021); Reduced risk with human rhinovirus/enterovirus or parainfluenza vs adenovirus (OR=0.01, P=0.006; OR=0.04, P=0.047); 17.91-fold risk lumbar puncture for complex seizure (P=0.033). Factors like age, temperature on admission (TemonAd), maximum temperature (MaxTem), length of hospital stay (LOHS), co-infection (Coinf), and SARS-CoV-2 were non-significant. P<0.05 is statistically significant. (This figure created by ‘Finalfit’ R package, version 1.0.6, was published on January 14, 2023. The primary authors are Ewen Harrison, Tom Drake, and Riinu Ots).
