We aimed to develop a registry ('Keto-Reg') for individuals with epilepsy referred for ketogenic dietary therapy (KDT) and to test feasibility of its implementation. The purpose of the registry is to provide a platform for collaborative research to answer specific research questions regarding long-term clinical and safety outcomes and to identify the most suitable candidates for KDT. Registry data items were determined via an international Delphi survey of KDT healthcare professionals, and then entered into an electronic platform.

- * Recent research examines the effectiveness of ketogenic diets as a potential treatment for patients with refractory status epilepticus.
- * The article summarizes discussions from the 9th London-Innsbruck Colloquium, focusing on the practical aspects of applying ketogenic diets in critical care settings.
Background: Ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) has been recommended as a treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy in children and young people since 2012 in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Clinical Guidelines for Epilepsies. The Ketogenic Dietitians Research Network completed a survey in 2017 to assess the impact of these guidelines.
Methods: An online survey was circulated to ketogenic dietitians across the UK and Ireland.
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.
