“…The poor outcome group included the living patients with AN and the patients who died due to AN. Predictor variables assessed at the 12-year follow-up (T2) were chosen based on findings from previous reports and included body mass index, severity of psychological symptoms, severity of social symptoms (ANSS) (Deter, 1992), the eight subscales of EDI and eight laboratory findings. Separate analyses were performed for each prognostic factor in order to obtain a respectable degree of accuracy considering the size of our patient sample.…”

Recovery is still possible for anorexic patients after a period of 21 years. On the other hand, patients can relapse, becoming symptomatic again despite previously achieving recovery status. Only a few patients classified as having a poor outcome were found to seek any form of treatment, therefore, it is recommended that these patients should be monitored regularly and offered treatment whenever possible.

“…The main investigative tool was the Anorexia Nervosa Symptom Score or ANSS (23), which includes 13 physical parameters (including hormone status), based on case history, clinical examination and biochemical blood analysis, and 17 parameters of psychosocial adaptation, based on a structured interview (24). All follow-up interviews of anorexia nervosa patients were videotaped and rated afterward (Inter-rater reliability using Kendall's concordance coefficient was .80).…”

The long-term outcome of 84 anorexia nervosa patients was studied over a period of 12 years using global clinical ratings and differential physical findings in addition to standardized psychometric measurements. An unusual polarization into good and fatal outcomes was found, with a high recovery rate of 54% and a high mortality rate of 11%. When psychiatric and somatic comorbidity and psychosocial functioning were included in the assessment, the recovery rate was only 41% after 12 years. Clear cases of anorexia decreased steadily from 100% at clinical presentation to 67% after 2 years, 40% after 4 years, and 23% after 6 years. There was almost no further decline after the ninth year of follow-up (17%). Purging, physical symptoms, advanced age at clinical presentation, and a high social status were predictors for an unfavorable course. About 22% of the patients had suffered a relapse after remission. At first presentation, they were young and had a short duration of illness but showed severe psychiatric disorders. Results are discussed in terms of methodological and clinical issues involved in the long-term follow-up of anorexia nervosa patients.
