Maintenance of response to ketogenic diet therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy post diet discontinuation: A multi-centre case note review.

Purpose: There is limited research on the proportion of individuals with epilepsy who maintain response to ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) after discontinuing treatment. We aimed to determine the proportion of individuals who did / did not maintain response post KDT and explore factors that may influence the likelihood of maintaining response.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected from 97 individuals from 9 KDT centres.
