Comparing ICD-11 and DSM-5 eating disorder diagnoses with the Munich eating and feeding disorder questionnaire (ED-Quest).

Objective: The new ICD-11 eating disorders (ED) guidelines are similar to the DSM-5 criteria. One difference to the DSM-5 is the inclusion of subjective binges in the definition of bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED). The aim of this study was to identify differences between the ICD-11 guidelines and DSM-5 ED criteria, which could impact access to medical care and early treatment.

Long-term outcome of anorexia nervosa: Results from a large clinical longitudinal study.

Objective: Assessment of the long-term outcome of anorexia nervosa (AN) in a very large sample of inpatients (N = 1,693) and identification of predictors for poor outcome.

Method: Over 25 years (mean 10 years), consecutively admitted inpatients of a specialized hospital were followed. A subsample of 112 patients with 20-year follow-up was defined.

Mortality in eating disorders - results of a large prospective clinical longitudinal study.

Objective: To report on long-term mortality in anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), and eating disorder not otherwise specified (ED-NOS), causes of death, and predictors of early death.

Method: A large sample of consecutively admitted inpatients (N = 5,839) was followed-up on vital status through the German civil registry office. Of these patients 1,639 were treated for AN, 1,930 for BN, 363 for BED, and 1,907 for ED-NOS.

The Munich eating and feeding disorder questionnaire (Munich ED-Quest) DSM-5/ICD-10: validity, reliability, sensitivity to change and norms.

Objective: The aim of the article is to report on the psychometric properties of a newly developed self-rating scale (Munich Eating and Feeding Disorder Questionnaire) for the detailed assessment of eating and feeding disorders on the basis of the DSM-5 criteria. The questionnaire aims at developing a comprehensive assessment of eating disorder symptoms suitable for severity ratings with regard to total scale and subscales, for deriving eating disorder diagnoses according to DSM-5 and ICD-10 and for measuring (intervention induced) changes over time.

Methods: Items were formulated by clinical experts and entered into factor analysis in two separate samples of eating-disordered inpatients.

Internet-based relapse prevention for anorexia nervosa: nine- month follow-up.

Background: To study the longer term effects of an internet-based CBT intervention for relapse prevention (RP) in anorexia nervosa.

Methods: 210 women randomized to the RP intervention group (full and partial completers) or the control group were assessed for eating and general psychopathology. Multiple regression analysis identified predictors of favorable course concerning Body Mass Index (BMI).
