Design and testing of a health economic Markov model for treatment of anorexia nervosa.

Objectives: Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder and knowledge about the cost-effectiveness of potential interventions is limited. The aim of this paper is to introduce the (AnoMod-TI), a flexible modeling tool for assessing the long-term cost-effectiveness of interventions for AN in late adolescent and adult patients, which could support clinical decision making.

Methods: AnoMod-TI is a state-transition cohort simulation (Markov) model developed from a Dutch societal perspective, which consists of four health states - namely full remission (FR), partial remission (PR), AN and death.

Developments in the psychological treatment of anorexia nervosa and their implications for daily practice.

Purpose Of Review: Our aim is to give an overview of the recent literature on psychological treatment for young adults and adults with anorexia nervosa and to discuss the implications of the findings for clinical practice.

Recent Findings: Three systematic reviews and meta-analyses have recently been published on psychological treatments for anorexia nervosa. Treatment outcomes are still modest and mainly focus on weight outcome, although outcomes for eating disorder disease and quality of life have also been reported.
