A large multicentre, retrospective, two-year follow-up survey of 290 children aged 18 years or less involved treatment with individually tailored, ketogenic diets (KD) and additional supplements for drug-resistant epilepsy.

The study enrolled those attending specialist centres across Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
