Treatment Results of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa in a Residential Treatment Program
Abstract
Data on the effectiveness of residential treatment for patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are limited. We analyzed patient survey results at admission and discharge from Monte Nido Residential Treatment Program. Of 287 consecutive admissions, 80% (231) "graduated" (completed ≥ 30 days of treatment), and of these (all of whom gave consent), only patients with AN (N = 120) or BN (N = 95) were included (215 of 231, 93%) in this study. Analyses included a comparison of admission vs. discharge variables (paired t-tests) for each diagnosis. At each assessment, graduates completed the Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-2), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and a structured eating disorder assessment questionnaire. For patients with AN, there were statistically significant improvements in mean BMI. In addition, for both AN and BN patients, there were statistically significant improvements in BDI scores, all 11 EDI-2 subscales, and frequencies of bingeing, vomiting, laxative abuse, chewing and spitting, stimulant abuse, and restricting behavior. The great majority of patients completing treatment showed significant improvement at discharge from intensive residential treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
