The ketogenic diet has the potential to improve an epileptic patient’s quality of life by decreasing seizure frequency, reducing the number of prescribed medications as well as daily medication costs, and by reducing the frequency of diet-medication interactions. Moreover, introducing a successful KD in the outpatient setting can also reduce medical costs, as well as improving the quality of life of children with medically-refractory epilepsy as the number of seizures subsides. We conducted the systematic review process on the basis of the guidelines outlined in Magarey We found recurring themes that could affect QoL: efficacy of seizure reduction, nutritional status, child growth and development, and child and family psychosocial impact.
