Objective To explore the impact on the retention and effective rate of the mode of continuous guidance with wechat group in children with infantile spasms (IS) treated by ketogenic diet (KD).Methods The clinical data of 40 children who received KD treatment in Jiangxi Children’s Hospital from January 2017 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 23 males and 17 females, the average age was (19.90±13.10) months and the average course was (9.95±7.61) months. They were randomly divided into control group (20 cases) and observation group (wechat group continuity Guidance Group, 20 cases), and followed up one year to compare the retention rate and efficacy.Results There was no statistical difference between the general data of the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). After 9 and 12 months of KD treatment, the retention and effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). And the seizure-free rate was higher than the control group (35% vs. 10%, 35% vs. 15%).Conclusion This model of continuous guidance with wechat group can increase the KD retention rate of IS children, And increase the effective rate.
