“…In other developed coun tries, the reported neonatal seizure risks ranged from 1.5 to 14.2 per 1,000 live births [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], Comparison of the frequency of neo natal seizures between the various studies is complicated by differences in characteristics of the underlying populations, study design (multihospital case series, neonatal intensive care unit series, regional referral-area-based series), selection criteria (variable inclusion of premature infants) and case definition (in cluding variable inclusion of subtle seizures and variable inclusion of clinically deter mined possible seizures). Interstudy variation in the reported frequency of neonatal seizures may be due to these study design differences, rather than to true differences in the frequen cy of neonatal seizures in the underlying pop ulations.…”

We present nationally representative estimates of neonatal seizure risk by gender, race and geographic region of the United States. National Hospital Discharge Survey data were analyzed for the period 1980–1991. Birth-weight-adjusted risks of neonatal seizures were calculated by the direct method for each gender or race group and for each census region by 4-year intervals. The overall risk of neonatal seizures was 2.84 per 1,000 live births. Risk estimates were consistently higher in low-birth-weight infants (relative risk 3.9). Unadjusted risks were similar across race and gender groups; birth weight adjustment had very little effect. No clear temporal trend was apparent over the 12-year study period. National Hospital Discharge Survey data provide reasonable, although conservative, estimates of neonatal seizure risks nationwide. Underascertainment of neonatal seizures, particularly among sick low-birth-weight infants, is likely due to data collection limitations of the National Hospital Discharge Survey.

“…Most of the authors regard the convult sions as an irritative cranial disorder being a consequence of accompan'ying s~mp:toms (Bound, ,Butler and Spector, 1956;Craig, 1960). Burke (1954) in his study , of 46 newborn infants, has already pointed out the significant prognostic value of convul' sions.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluaute the clinical dataon incidence, sex, body-weight, morbidity and mortality and the possible etiology of convulsions occurring in the neonatal period (i.e. the first 30 days of life) and to study the outcome in follow up examination at the age of more than 6 months. The age of 6 months is taken as a limit because previous experiences and those of other authors (Billing, 1964) have shown that only after the age of 6 months neurological and mental disorders remain evident and permanent.

“…The same is true of subarachnoid hemorrhages that are manifested in half of the cases by "localized, slight, convulsive or twitching movements." 4 Partial seizures characterized clinically and electrographically by activation of a localized neuronal group must be persistent in the newborn to establish a close correlation with the localization of anatomic lesions.…”
