Laura LyonsNatasha E SchoelerDean LanganJ Helen CrossPublished in: Epilepsia (2020)
This review indicates that KDT is safe and tolerable and that it can be an effective treatment option for infants with drug-resistant epilepsy. However, there are few studies focusing on infants treated with KDT, and high-quality evidence is lacking. High-quality randomized-controlled trials are needed to confirm the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of dietary treatment in this vulnerable age group.
