Social and Economic Challenges to Implementing the Ketogenic Diet: A Case Series
Abstract The ketogenic diet (KD) is a powerful therapeutic tool that can reduce seizure activity in patients with refractory epilepsy. However, dietary implementation can be difficult for patients and families due to the time and resource intensive nature of the diet. These challenges are particularly pronounced in economically disadvantaged or socially unstable patient populations. The first case of this series describes the successful implementation of KD in a low-income, homeless patient through the use of innovative KD recipes and access to social programs offered through Boston Medical Center. The second case illustrates the importance of consistent parental support to the success of KD and describes mechanisms used to improve familial support within a nonunified household. Collectively, these cases demonstrate ways by which health care providers can make this powerful dietary treatment accessible to low-resource patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
