Factors predictive of outcome were sought from the data from a controlled study of the treatment of bulimia nervosa. Four different indices of outcome were used, and outcome was assessed at four points during a 12-month, treatment-free follow-up period. It was found that the pre-treatment level of self-esteem was a consistent predictor of outcome with those patients having low self-esteem responding least well to treatment. There were no other consistent predictors of outcome.
从神经性贪食症治疗的对照研究数据中寻找预后的预测因素。使用了四种不同的预后指标，并在为期12个月的无治疗随访期内的四个时间点评估预后。结果发现，自尊的治疗前水平是预后的一个一致预测因素，自尊水平低的患者对治疗反应最差。没有其他一致的预后预测因素。
