Eating disorders in patients with traumatic brain injury: A report of four cases
Abstract
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to changes in eating behavior patterns with significant clinical manifestations. Methods Medical records of four patients with severe TBI and eating disorders attending the neurorehabilitation program of our brain injury unit were reviewed. Conclusions Several eating disorders observed among the four cases, may be present from early phases and remain years after the lesion. Symptoms do not adhere to the typical forms of anorexia and bulimia. Factors influencing the weight changes experienced by patients with brain injury included reduction in physical activity, metabolic disorders and treatment with psychotropic drugs.

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.
