Abstract: Objective To explore the diurnal distribution characteristics and related factors of the number of febrile convulsions in children. Methods The diurnal distribution characteristics of 443 children with febrile convulsion hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics of Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 2014 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The effects of gender(male/female), age at onset(≤3 years old/>3 years old), gestational age(preterm birth/term birth)and birth mode(caesarean delivery/natural delivery)on the day-night distribution of febrile seizures were analyzed. Results The diurnal distribution of the number of seizures was different(χ2=5.411,P=0.020), the results of univariate analysis showed that there were differences in the day and night distribution of seizures in children with different genders, age at first onset, and gestational age(all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age at onset and gestational age the influencing factors of the diurnal distribution of febrile seizures in children, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The diurnal distribution of the number of febrile convulsions in children has certain characteristics, which is affected by age at onset and gestational age.
