Investigation of the implementation and utilization of ketogenic diet therapy in China

This study constitutes the first nationwide comprehensive investigation into the clinical application of KDT in China. The results reveal a notably limited adoption of KDT across epilepsy centers, despite its well-documented therapeutic efficacy and favorable safety profile. The current implementation remains limited to a select number of specialized centers and a relatively small patient population, primarily due to insufficient awareness and understanding among healthcare practitioners. These findings provide evidence-based insights that underscore the necessity for strategic initiatives to promote wider implementation of KDT in clinical practice.
