Demographics and Outcomes of Patients With Eating Disorders Treated in Residential Care

Abstract: The use of residential eating disorder (ED) treatment has grown dramatically in the United States, yet there has been minimal evaluation of treatment outcomes. Thus, outcome data on weight restoration, purging behaviors, and/or Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) for 1,421 patients treated over an 8-year period in residential ED programs are described. Results suggest that, (1) for patients who needed weight restoration upon admission, adolescent and adult patients gained 2.0 and 2.1 lb/week, respectively; … Show more

“…Both the American Psychiatric Association (APA) guidelines [1], and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines [2], recommend inpatient treatment as one treatment option in cases of severe illness (psychological and medical symptoms), enduring illness, and unsuccessful outcome of treatment. Symptom improvement during inpatient treatment of adult patients with an ED enrolled in different treatment programs has been reported [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], and findings showed that improvement was mainly sustained at follow-up [3,6,[8][9][10][11]. However, outcome after inpatient treatment is reported as poor [12].…”

RCTs are typically conducted under optimal conditions (e.g., selected patients, trained and supervised therapists, adherence to treatment manual), which are different from those found in routine clinical practice.…”

Purging behaviors have been shown to decrease almost completely for patients with BN while in residential treatment [ 15 ].…”
