“…37 Evidence currently confirms that a slow rate of weight gain in treatment as well as a low BMI at discharge predicts poor long term outcomes and readmissions. 40,46,76,77 Given that, as this study suggests, persons with AN differ in their short-term outcomes based on RFC, a variable known at the time of admission and modifiable through RFC-specific treatment interventions, further research should assess whether stage of change focused treatment can affect RFC, the associated outcomes, and LOS.…”

“…On the other hand, weight gain in treatment at a rate that is too slow has been correlated with readmission to hospital. 46 Length of stay has been correlated with insurance status suggesting that a person's ability to pay for treatment influences how long they will be treated at a higher level of care. 47 This raises issues concerning fairness and the constraints on healthcare providers' abilities to carry out evidence-based clinical decisions regarding the appropriate setting and duration of care.…”

Objective: To determine if readiness for change (RFC) at admission predicted length of stay (LOS) and short-term outcomes among female adolescents in residential treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN).Method: Using a prospective cohort design to collect data from participants (N 5 65) at admission and discharge, KaplanMeier survival analysis and Cox regression tested whether RFC on admission predicted time in LOS to a favorable short-term outcome-a composite endpoint based on minimum criteria for weight gain, drive for thinness, depression, anxiety, and healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL).Results: Participants with low RFC had a mean survival time to a favorable short-term outcome of 59.4 days compared to 34.1 days for those with high RFC (log rank 5 8.44, df 5 1, p 5 .003). The probability of a favorable short-term outcome was 5.30 times greater for participants with high RFC. Conclusion:Readiness for change is a useful predictor of a favorable short-term outcome and should be considered in the assessment profile of patients with AN. V V C 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…He also found that longer duration of the follow up and younger age at onset of the illness were associated with better outcome. However, a different study 8 found that lower age at onset was predictive of readmission of patients within 12 months of completing their initial treatment. Contrary to these findings, another study 9 found that age at onset was not a significant predictor of outcome.…”

“…Previous research into recovering from AN has predominantly focused on defining the recovery from AN the patient perspective [1][2][3][4][5][6] and looked at predictors of recovery using quantitative criteria such as length of treatment and follow up or age at onset [7][8][9] with mixed results.…”

Objectives: The study explored women's perceptions of their recovery process and what recovery means to them in order to gain a better understanding of the predictors of recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN).Method: The data were analysed usingInterpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Semi-structured telephone interviews were carried out with fifteen women who received a diagnosis of AN and defined themselves as recovered/in recovery. The women were recruited from beat. Results:The women described their experiences in terms of four broad areas; being anorexic; dissatisfaction with treatment; process of change; and being recovered. Whilst anorexic, women experienced a series of dichotomies. In particular, they described splits between mind and body, AN behaviour and cognitions and rational and irrational side. Recovery occurred when the above dichotomies became resolved. Conclusion:Recovery occurs only when an individual becomes "whole" again, which is a lengthy psychological process. Therefore, it is also essential that therapy is not discontinued after patients reach their target weight.

“…la mayor o menor ganancia ponderal es bastante impredecible 4 , existiendo, además, una falta de consenso al fijar el objetivo de recuperación en adolescentes en desarrollo, habiéndose propuesto el uso de percentiles de IMC y fijado un rango entre 14 y 39 como objetivo inicial 28 . La inadecuada recuperación ponderal, actitudes alimentarias anómalas y baja edad, se han relacionado con rehospitalizaciones 29 , siendo la adecuada ganancia ponderal el mejor predictor, a corto plazo, de menor deterioro clínico 30 . Un mejor peso inicial también se ha relacionado positivamente con un mejor mantenimiento posterior del mismo 31 y, a largo plazo, la normalización ponderal y del estado nutricional parecen también determinantes de un buen pronóstico 32 .…”

Review of nutritional and dietary management of anorexia nervosaFax: +34954278167 E-mail: ijl@tcasevilla.com L a anorexia nerviosa es un trastorno habitualmente de curso prolongado, con manifestaciones psicofísicas diversas 1 . Un porcentaje de pacientes puede morir, por suicidio o complicaciones físicas, siendo frecuente la muerte súbita por cardioarritmias 1-3 , que no guarda relación con la duración de la enfermedad o la edad, pero sí con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) < 12 y niveles muy bajos de albúmina sérica 4 , aunque el riesgo de dicho desenlace es poco predecible, dada la variable respuesta individual a la desnutrición y la influencia de otros factores 5,6 . En las complicaciones influyen el bajo peso, atracones, conductas purgativas, ejercicio extenuante y autolesiones 4 , siendo reversibles con una adecuada recuperación ponderal 7 . La prevalencia del trastorno es 0,2-0,5% 8 , afectando más a las mujeres 9 , pero con iguales efectos en los varones 10 . Aún sin demostrar que la ratio mujeres-hombres esté cambiando, lo que sí ha aumentado es el rango de edad de aparición, considerando que el rango tradicional de afectación era de 15 a 24 años para la mayoría de los casos 1 .La morbi-mortalidad asociada y la compleja naturaleza del trastorno, implican un tratamiento interdisciplinar 11 , muchas veces intensivo 12 , siendo los dietistas-nutricionistas los mejor cualificados para manejar aspectos dietético-nutricionales 13 , como el restablecimiento ponderal, el logro de una ingesta que cubra los requerimientos y una adecuada educación nutricional 4 .El objetivo del trabajo fue revisar los aspectos dietético-nutricionales del tratamiento de la anorexia nerviosa, enfatizando las tareas y estándares necesarios a proporcionar por parte de los dietistas-nutricionistas en el contexto de un equipo interdisciplinar y en diferentes ámbitos: ambulatorio, hospitalario y de hospitalización parcial (unidades de día).
