The estimated general recurrence risk of FS after a first episode ranges between 30 and 40 % [8, 17]. The risk is 50 % in the first year after the first FS, while it is higher than 90 % withinthesecondyear[50].Themostcommonriskfactorsfor recurrence of both simple and complex FS include an age of onset lower than 15 months, a positive familial history for FS or epilepsy, a maternal preponderance in the positive familial history for FS, an episode of complex FS at onset, previous multiple episodes within the same febrile illness, and a lower temperature prior to the initial seizures [8]. The more predictors, the greater the risk for FS recurrence [39]. An earlier age atonset ofFSandapositivefamilyhistory represent themain predictors for the first recurrence, while a low temperature beforethefirstseizureisthemostpowerfulpredictor forthree or more recurrences [39]. Hospitalization is generally not indicated in both simple and recurrent FS especially if they are not prolonged and easily stopped with pharmacological acute treatment [8]. Diagnostic approaches are not different from the ones we have described for the first FS [8]. A prolonged initial FS can increase the risk for prolonged recurrent FS even if episodes of febrile status epilepticus do not necessarily implicate a higher risk of recurrent FS or epilepsy [49]. In a recent series, the lack of EEG and neuroimaging abnormalitiesinalmostallthechildrenwithmorethanoneFS in 24 h, no focal features, and no abnormalities in the state of consciousness between each seizure defined a group of seizures with the same favorable prognosis of simple FS [18]. Therefore, the term simple febrile seizures plus (SFS+) was proposedinsteadof“complexFS”fortheseseizuretypes
