Predictors of treatment outcome in higher levels of care among a large sample of adolescents with heterogeneous eating disorders.

Background: Despite widespread use of higher levels of care in treating eating disorders in adolescents, research supporting the use of these treatments remains limited by small sample sizes and a predominant focus on anorexia nervosa. Further, existing data regarding predictors of outcome have yielded mixed findings. In the current study, we evaluated treatment outcomes and predictors of outcome among a large sample of adolescents with eating disorders presenting to inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient programs across the United States.

An open trial for adults in a residential program for binge eating spectrum disorders.

The current study assessed treatment outcome for 99 adult admissions to a residential program specifically designed for binge eating spectrum disorders (BESD). Participants completed self-report measures at admission, discharge, and 12-month follow-up and were asked to complete blood draws at admission and follow-up. Primary outcomes were eating behaviors; secondary outcomes included comorbid symptoms and physiological variables.

Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance and Association with Patient Outcomes in a Rural Kenyan Hospital.

Data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and association with outcomes in resource-variable intensive care units (ICU) are lacking. Data currently available are limited to large, urban centers. We attempted to understand this locally through a dual-purpose, retrospective study.

Care utilization in eating disorders: for whom are multiple episodes of care more likely?

Purpose: The current study aimed to determine baseline clinical features among adults receiving varied levels of care for transdiagnostic eating disorders (N = 5206, 89.9% female, mean age 29 years old) that may be associated with increased care utilization.

Methods: We used negative binomial regression models to evaluate associations among eating disorder diagnoses, other psychiatric features (e.
