Description
August Licht, Soren Mikkelsen, and co-authors chart fits as a call cause in the Danish aid system over a decade, in a 2025 study. Fits are a top dispatch cause, yet true roots shift much with age. Records from one city doctor led unit were checked by hand.
More than three thousand cases were in the chart. A third were tots under age five, most with fever fits. Vague labels led all roots, then fever fits, then nerve ills. Death in three months hit about six in a hundred cases. Death risk rose steeply with age, which can guide first aid picks.
