description Plain English summary Outcomes for adults requiring inpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa are poor. The aim of this work was to evaluate a recently introduced Integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (I-CBTE) in Oxford, adapted from a model first developed for inpatients in Italy, compared with alternative inpatient treatment programmes in the UK. I-CBTE is an innovative approach which combines a time limited, planned admission of 13-weeks with the goal of full weight restoration, 7-weeks day treatment and ongoing outpatient CBTE. Treatment as usual includes an eclectic multidisciplinary approach, which is often unplanned and poorly coordinated across the care pathway in routine practice. Between 2017 and 2020, we systematically analysed routinely collected data for patients admitted to 15 specialist units from a population of 3.5million in England. We looked at outcomes between admission and discharge, and at one year follow up. 70% of patients receiving I-CBTE, maintained healthy weight at one year after discharge from hospital (without binging or purging), in contrast with less than 5% of those in alternative programmes that result in partial weight restoration. Readmission rates were 14.3% and ~ 50% respectively. Partial weight restoration resulted in high readmission rates and therefore should be discouraged. Our findings show that continuity and consistency of the I-CBTE approach are fundamental for maintaining good outcomes.
