To investigate the outcome of Japanese anorexia nervosa (AN) patients who were treated with the standard Japanese inpatient therapy.
Of the 88 female AN patients treated with our inpatient therapy between January 1997 and December 2002, 67 (76.1%) who agreed to cooperate in this study were assessed by the Global Clinical Score (GCS) at admission and follow-up, 6.3±1.8 years after discharge. Their clinical characteristics at admission and discharge were also examined.
Four (6.0%) patients had died before follow-up. BMI was significantly increased during inpatient therapy. At follow-up, excellent, much improved, symptomatic, and poor outcomes on GCS were 57.1%, 14.3%, 14.3% and 14.3%, respectively. Younger age at admission and larger BMI at discharge were significantly associated with a better outcome.
This study shows the potential for the use of this method for the treatment of AN patients in countries without specialized eating disorder units.
研究接受日本标准住院治疗的日本厌食症（AN）患者的治疗效果。
1997 年 1 月至 2002 年 12 月期间，88 名接受我院住院治疗的女性 AN 患者中，有 67 名（76.1%）同意配合本研究，在出院后 6.3±1.8 年时采用全球临床评分（GCS）进行评估。同时还检查了患者入院和出院时的临床特征。
在随访前，有 4 名（6.0%）患者死亡。住院治疗期间 BMI 显著增加。在随访时，GCS 评估的优秀、明显改善、症状性和较差的治疗效果分别为 57.1%、14.3%、14.3%和 14.3%。入院时年龄较小和出院时 BMI 较大与更好的治疗效果显著相关。
本研究表明，这种方法有可能在没有专门饮食失调单位的国家用于治疗 AN 患者。
