Abstract
INTRODUCCIÓN. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar los factores pronósticos de recurrencia de las crisis epilépticas focales a los 2 años del diagnóstico y del inicio del tratamiento. MÉTODOS. Este estudio observacional, analítico y prospectivo incluyó a 207 niños que presentaron dos o más crisis epilépticas focales no provocadas, hospitalizados en el Departamento de Neuropediatría del Hospital «William Soler», entre diciembre de 2001 y diciembre de 2003. Al final de los 2 años de seguimiento, 185 pacientes concluyeron el estudio. RESULTADOS. El 33,5 % de los pacientes presentó recurrencias de las crisis epilépticas focales al finalizar el estudio. Constituyeron factores de riesgo de recurrencia de las crisis epilépticas focales los siguientes: edad menor de un año, etiología sintomática, presencia de antecedentes personales de crisis neonatales sintomáticas y discapacidades neurológicas y la persistencia de descargas en el electroencefalograma (EEG) evolutivo. El análisis de regresión logística demostró como variables pronósticas de recurrencia la etiología sintomática (p = 0,000; OR = 3,107), el antecedente personal de crisis neonatales sintomáticas (p = 0,037; OR = 4,623) y la persistencia de descargas en el EEG evolutivo (p = 0,000; OR = 2,109). CONCLUSIONES. El antecedente personal de crisis neonatales sintomáticas constituyó el factor independiente con mayor influencia en las recurrencias de las crisis epilépticas focales.
INTRODUCTION: The objective of present paper was to determine the recurrent prognostic factors of focal epileptic crises at 2 years of diagnosis and of treatment onset. METHODS: This prospective, analytical and observational study included 207 children presenting two or more non-provoked epileptic crises, admitted in Neuropediatrics Department of "William Soler" Hospital between December, 2001 and December, 2003. At a two years follow-up, 185 patients concluded the study. RESULTS: The 33,5% of patients had recurrences of focal epileptic crises at the end of the year. Recurrent risk factors of crises above mentioned included: aged under 1 year, symptomatic etiology, presence of personal backgrounds of symptomatic neonatal crises and neurologic disabilities and persistence of the evolutionary electroenphalogram discharges. The logistic regression analysis showed as prognostic variables of symptomatic etiology recurrence (p = 0,000; OR = 3, 107), the persona background of symptomatic neonatal crises (p = 0,037; OR = 4,623) and the discharges persistence in the evolutionary electroencephalogram (p = 0,000; OR = 2,109). CONCLUSIONS: The personal background of symptomatic neonatal crises was the independent factor with a higher influence on recurrent focal epileptic crises.
