The efficacy and safety of the ketogenic diet in infantile epileptic spasm syndrome: a meta-analysis
Objective
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ketogenic diet (KD) in treating infantile epileptic spasm syndrome (IESS).
Methods
A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted to identify prognostic studies on the use of KD for IESS. Data from eligible studies were extracted and meta-analyzed using a random-effects model.
Results
The meta-analysis indicated that the proportion of children experiencing a ≥ 50% reduction in spasticity episodes at 3, 6, and 12 months post-KD initiation was 63% (95% CI: 0.52–0.73), 66% (95% CI: 0.56–0.76), and 60% (95% CI: 0.43–0.77), respectively. Seizure-free periods occurred in 21% (95% CI: 0.11–0.32), 21% (95% CI: 0.12–0.30), and 19% (95% CI: 0.08–0.31) of patients at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. KD treatment also significantly improved electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities (OR: 54%, P < 0.01) and contributed to the enhancement of motor, cognitive, and language development (OR: 56%, P < 0.01). Common adverse events included gastrointestinal issues (427/1313, 32%) and disturbances in the internal environment (428/1313, 32%), though most were mild and manageable. Evidence is predominantly low-certainty with significant publication bias.
Conclusion
The ketogenic diet is an effective and safe treatment option for children with IESS who are unresponsive to antiepileptic drugs.
