Feasibility, Tolerability and efficacy of the ketogenic diet in children with drug-resistant epilepsy in Vietnam.

Our study was the first attempt to introduce KD in Vietnam. It demonstrated that this diet was feasible and well tolerated. The KD diet resulted in significant improvement for 30% of our patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. This percentage is lower than in some studies but warrants the use of KD as a valuable alternative in a country where many patients lack access to recent treatments.
