Prognosis of Early-onset Anorexia Nervosa

This study includes all patients who were hospitalized at Robert Debré Hospital in Paris between 2016 and 2021 for early-onset anorexia nervosa. During follow-up interviews, participants will complete a standardized set of questionnaires assessing their mental and physical health (EDE-Q, PHQ-9, MSI-BPD, GAD-7, and SF-12). The primary outcome is the evaluation of the severity of the eating disorder, measured with the EDE-Q. Secondary outcomes will be derived from the additional questionnaires and will include body mass index (BMI), menstrual status, follow-up data, general well-being, impact of the eating disorder, hospital readmission, suicide attempts, depressive symptoms, borderline personality traits, anxiety, quality of life, educational attainment, occupational status, and treatments received. We hypothesize that approximately 50% of patients will achieve remission three years after hospitalization.
