Etiology and Short-term Outcome of First Seizure in Hospitalized Infants. We enrolled 75 consecutive infants presenting with history of first seizure at a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi, India. Clinical and biochemical work-up for etiology, and electroencephalography were performed in all infants. Developmental assessment was done 3-month after discharge. 72% had generalized seizures, and fever was the commonest co-morbidity (57.3%). 68% had provoked seizures, mainly due to hypocalcemia (34.3%) or neuro-infections (29.3%). Seven (9.3%) infants died during hospital stay; mostly those with neuro-infections. 13 (20.3%) infants had developmental delay.
