Abstract:
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and compliance of domestic ketogenic diet(KD) for children with refractory epilepsy (RE),in order to provide the basis for further improving the curative effect and compliance by finding out the factors influencing efficacy and compliance. Methods The effect of KD on children with RE was investigated by systematically searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),China Science and Technology Journal Database(CSTJ),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and PubMed database from January 1, 1989 to January 17,2018. The relevant literature R3. 0. 2 software was used to combine the retention rate and therapeu-tic effect in different periods,based on the systematic analysis of the therapeutic efficacy and compliance literature. Results A total of 11 eligible documents were included. (1)The methodological index for non - randomized studies (MINORS)scores of included literature were rated from 10 to 18 points. (2)A secondary analysis of 9 literatures on the description of the subject′s composition showed that the proportion of male to female in children with RE ranged from 1. 441. 00 to 2. 731. 00,and that of 9 literatures included a total of 331 samples,there were 212 male and 119 female,the ratio of male to female was 1. 781. 00. (3)The sources of the included literatures were from Beijing, Shanghai,Changsha,Shenzhen,Nanchang,Zhengzhou,Suzhou,Chongqing,Shenyang and Xi′an. (4)The retention rates of 1 month(5 studies),3 months(10 studies),6 months(7 studies)and 12 months (6 studies)were respectively 93％ [95％ confidence interval (CI):88％ - 98％],80％ (95％ CI:71％ - 98％),70％ (95％ CI:61％ - 78％) and 54％ (95％ CI:37％ - 71％). (5)According to the Meta - analysis,the effective rate of 1 month(6 studies), 3 months(10 studies),6 months(7 studies)and 12 months (7 studies)were respectively 57％ (95％ CI:34％ -79％),68％ (95％ CI:57％ - 79％),76％ (95％ CI:62％ - 89％)and 80％ (95％ CI:68％ - 93％). (6)Through analyzing the adverse reactions and the causes of termination,the literature showed that common adverse reactions in-volved digestive system (72 cases),infection (23 cases),urinary calculus (4 cases),and the metabolic disorder. The reason of treatment termination was that the children were not cooperative (26 cases)and the parents had poor comp-liance (24 cases). Conclusion KD is one of the effective methods for treating RE in children. Reducing or relieving adverse reactions in KD to improve the treatment compliance of children with RE and their families is a subject worthy of further study and attention.
