- responders pre ketogenic diet
- Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
- responders post ketogenic diet
- Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
- "Responders" are children with drug resistant epilepsy having been identified as having greater than or equal to 50% reduction in seizures post ketogenic diet treatment. Of the identified responders, this group refers to children over eight years of age at the time when samples were taken after three months ketogenic diet implementation.
