Statistical studies on the prognosis of anorexia nervosa were carried out by our research group. Subjects were 224 cases from 36 university hospitals throughout Japan. A questionnaire was mailed to each of the 224 patients in cooperation with their doctors. The outcome of 143 of the 224 cases was judged by their doctors as ‘good’ in 47 cases, ‘intermediate’ in 69 cases and ‘poor’ in 19 cases. 8 of the patients had died. The prognosis of typical cases was much poorer than that of atypical cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
