Abstract:Objective: To investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of prednisolone and ACTH in the treatment of infantile spasm and effects on electroencephalogram. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 90 children with IS hospitalized in pediatrics department of our hospital from March 2010 to May 2017. They were divided into prednisolone group (treated with high dose prednisolone, n=42) and ACTH group (treated with ACTH, n=48) according to the treatment method. The curative effect, the improvement of EEG and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. One-year follow-up was performed and the recurrence rate was recorded. Results: The response rates of the prednisolone group and ACTH group were 90.48% and 95.83%, respectively (χ2=1.033, P>0.05). The effective rates of electroencephalogram improvement in prednisolone group and ACTH group were 95.83% and 97.92%, respectively (χ2=0.499, P>0.05). The incidence rates of adverse reactions in the prednisolone and ACTH group were 33.33% and 37.50. %, respectively (χ2=0.170, P>0.05). The recurrence rates of prednisolone group and ACTH group were 7.14% and 4.17%, respectively (χ2=0.378, P>0.05). Conclusion: The curative effect and adverse reactions of prednisolone and ACTH are equivalent in the treatment of IS. However, prednisolone is cheaper and simpler to operate. It can be used in clinical practice to replace ISTH with large-dose oral prednisolone.
