Only 7 patients who died are included in the survival analysis. Group 1, newly diagnosed GBM, with KD adjunctive treatment to XRT and temozolomide. Group 2, recurrent GBM, with recurrence/progression after XRT, temozolomide, and recurrence/continued progression on bevacizumab. All months are given to the nearest decimal point

1Overall survival = survival from diagnosis

2Compliance is rated on a scale of 0–3: 0 = none, 1 = partial-slight, 2 = partial-substantial, 3 = complete

3Study subject no. 4 was alive at the time of submission and was therefore not included in the survival analysis
