Journal Title: Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim of the study . The aim of the study was to assess outcome of patients with eating disorders in a Polish socio-cultural context. Material and methods . Re-assessed after 6.72 years (SD 0.99 years, min 4.58 years, max 8.81 years), 47 of 112 patients consulted initially in the outpatient clinic of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit between 2002/2004 in Krakow, Poland with one of the eating disorders. r esults . Complete remission (absence of symptoms for three months) took place in 55% of patients from the restrictive anorexia nervosa group and in 27.3% of patients from the bulimia nervosa group. A full range of symptoms was observed in 10% of patients from the restrictive anorexia nervosa group and in 36.4% of patients from the bulimia nervosa group. In both groups, the longer the follow-up study, the worse outcome observed. Discussion . Small size of group in the follow-up study caused a significant limitation. Conclusion. The remission rates indices for restrictive anorexia nervosa are similar to those presented in other follow-up studies. In the case of bulimia nervosa, they are lower than average. An analysis of diagnosis variability between the initial and the follow up assessment indicates low crossover rate from an - orexia nervosa to the bulimia nervosa group
