High-calorie refeeding in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: a narrative review.
Acta Gastroenterol Belg
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that starting with a high-calorie diet for refeeding in anorexia nervosa (AN) may be beneficial, particularly for hospitalized children and adolescents.* -
- A review of 15 studies, mostly observational, indicated that initial energy intake during refeeding can vary widely but generally starts higher than current recommendations, showing better weight restoration outcomes with high-calorie refeeding (HCR).* -
- The findings highlight the potential for safe high-calorie refeeding in low-risk adolescents with AN, but call for more comprehensive research to establish a standardized protocol and ensure safety, particularly for severely malnourished patients.*
