Abstract

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a common chronic disorder characterized by severe malnutrition and psychological disturbances. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is not usually used in nutritional rehabilitation of AN.

During the last 10 years a total of 198 inpatients were included in our study: 104 (53%) received oral and parenteral refeeding (group A) and 94 (47%) oral refeeding alone (group B). For each nutritional treatment, clinical efficacy was evaluated by short- and long-term outcomes, and safety was assessed by complication rate. Short-term outcome assessment indicated weekly weight gain and maximum caloric intake to be higher in PN-treated patients. Long-term outcome evaluation showed rehospitalization and recovery rate to be similar in the two groups, but failure of first nutritional rehabilitation requiring PN significantly greater in group B (17.5%) than in group A (3%) (p = .01). The number of complications was significantly higher in group A than in group B (p = .004), although all complications resolved. Among all nutritional rehabilitation strategies, PN ...Continue Reading
