Latent trajectories of eating disorder treatment response among female patients in residential care
International Journal of Eating Disorders Sep 04, 2020
Espel‐Huynh HM, Zhang F, Boswell JF, et al. - In this study, the heterogeneous patterns of eating disorder (ED) treatment response was defined during residential care. Researchers included a total of 360 participants (adolescent girls and adult women) receiving residential ED treatment for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge‐eating disorder, other specified feeding or eating disorder, unspecified feeding or eating disorder, or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. They applied latent growth mixture modeling to distinguish subgroups of patients with similar treatment response trajectories. In residential ED treatment, patients follow heterogeneous response patterns, and these patterns are associated with differential treatment outcomes. Additional work should evaluate if these trajectories are correlated with differential outcomes at follow‐up and if tailoring the clinical intervention to a patient's trajectory type can improve treatment response.
