Greater rate of weight loss predicts paediatric hospital admission in adolescent typical and atypical anorexia nervosa by Brennan, Cliona, Cini, Erica, Illingworth, Sarah, Chapman, Simon, Simic, Mima, Nicholls, Dasha, Chapman, Victoria, Simms, Conor, Hayes, Ellen, Fuller, Sarah, Orpwood, Jade, Tweedy, Nichola, Baksh, Tahmida, Astaire, Emma, Bhakta, Dee

“…Physical health parameters at assessment, including heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and rate of weight loss, were compared between adolescents who were admitted to a paediatric ward following assessment and those who were not admitted. The mean rate of weight loss prior to assessment was significantly higher, and mean energy intake significantly lower, in the admitted vs not admitted groups (1.2 vs 0.6kg/week, p < 0.001 and 565 kcal/day vs 857 kcal/day, p < 0.001), independent of degree of underweight. …”
