Predictors of treatment outcome in individuals with eating disorders: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract

To ensure that this area continues to develop with robust and clinically relevant findings, future studies should adopt a consistent definition of outcome and continue to examine complex multivariate predictor models. Growth in this area will allow for stronger conclusions to be drawn about the prediction of outcome for specific diagnoses and treatment types.

The validity of DSM‐5 severity specifiers for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge‐eating disorder

“…Given that depression and anxiety are related to poorer prognosis in EDs (Vall & Wade, 2015), these domains may be relevant validators of ED severity. In addition, quality of life and physical health convey clinical significance and may be expected to correspond with ED severity (Agh et al, 2016; Winkler et al, 2014).…”

The Role of Psychotropic Medications in the Management of Anorexia Nervosa: Rationale, Evidence and Future Prospects

“…A recent meta-analysis indicated that depression and general psychopathology unfavorably affected treatment outcome; however, the studies typically assess depression or anxiety with continuous measures such as the Beck Depression Inventory or State Anxiety Questionnaire score and do not necessarily stratify by diagnosis [190]. This is a potential problem, as one would, for instance, in a clinical setting prescribe an anti-anxiety or antidepressant medication based on a diagnostic assessment.…”

Análisis de las variables clínicas y sociodemográficas de los pacientes diagnosticados de un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria que buscan ayuda y su remisión a diferentes dispositivos sanitarios

“…Como hemos visto en el apartado anterior, se han realizado grandes avances en la evaluación de los tratamientos en los TCA, sin embargo, son menos conocidos los predictores y moderadores de la respuesta al tratamiento (Agras et al, 2014;Iacovino et al, 2012: Le Grange et al, 2014Le Grange et al, 2012;Le Grange et al, 2008;Steinhausen and Weber, 2009;Thompson-Brenner et al, 2013;Vall and Wade, 2015).…”

“…A pesar de estas dificultades, existen ya algunas investigaciones que se han centrado en estudiar los predictores que median en el resultado de los TCA (Agencia de Investigación y Calidad de la Salud, 2015; Berkman, Lohr y Shapiro et al, 2007;Vall y Wade, 2015).…”

“…La literatura ha empezado a destacar como predictores consistentes del resultado de tratamiento la motivación, las preocupaciones acerca el peso y la figura y las conductas purgativas (Vall, 2015).…”
