Author, Year | # of Participants (Diagnosis) | Study Design | Mean Length of Intervention | Primary Outcome | Findings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Asch, 2014 [71] | 2 (both AN-R) | Case reports | 10 weeks | Change in weight (BMI pre/post) Change in EAT-26 score pre/post Change in EBRSa score pre/post | Both patients gained weight (Pt 1: BMI 15.3 to BMI 18.1, Pt 2: BMI 13.3 to BMI 17.5) EAT-26 scores for both patients decreased over the intervention EBRS scores for both patients decreased over the intervention |
Kuge, 2017 [72] | 7 (all AN) | Case reports | 4 weeks | Change in weight (BMI and %TGW pre/post) | Mean weight rose over the intervention (mean BMI rose from 14.8 to 16.0, ESb 0.80 and mean %TGW rose from 73.6 to 79.4%, ES 0.68) |
Harrison, 2017 [73] | 70 (66 AN-R, 4 AN-B/P) | Case series | 10 weeks | Change in weight (mean %TGW pre/post) Change in EDE-Q score pre/post Change in motivation (MSCAREDc pre/post) | Weight increased significantly during the intervention (79.3%TGW to 89.0%TGW, p < 0.001) Non-significant decrease in EDE-Q score (p < 0.08) Significant increase in motivational stage of change (p < 0.001) |
Herbrich, 2017 [74] | 48 (36 AN-R, 8 AN-B/P, 4 atypical AN) | Case control | 5 weeks | Change in weight (mean BMI centile pre/post) | Significant increase in BMI centile in both groups pre/post (p < 0.006), no difference between groups |
Depestele, 2017 [75] | 112 (45 AN-R, 26 AN-B/P, 24 BN, 16 ED-NOS) | Case control (compared adjunctive multi-family group, n = 62 vs multi-parent group, n = 50) | 8.5 weeks | Change in mean EDI-2 scores over time and between interventions Change in frequency of B/P behaviours over time | Significant improvement in mean EDI-2 subscales of drive for thinness (p < 0.001) and body dissatisfaction (p < 0.001). No significant difference between interventions BP behaviours decreased over time for patients with BN (p < 0.05) and AN-B/P (p < 0.01) |
Janas-Kozik, 2011 [76] | 24 (all AN-R) | RCT (inpatient bright light therapy + CBT,d n = 12, vs inpatient CBT alone, n = 12) | 6 weeks | Mean change in weight during intervention (BMI) | At end of intervention both groups had an increase in BMI of 10%, however significant increase from baseline in bright light group evident at week 3 vs week 6 for no bright light therapy |
Couturier, 2009 [77] | 21 (19 AN-R, 2 AN-B/P) | Case control (patients treated with meal support, n = 12, versus no meal support, n = 9) | 61.2 (SD = 37.4) vs 78.0 (SD = 46.5), NS difference (p < 0.39) | Mean weekly weight gain Rate of need for NGTe feeds | Mean weekly weight gain did not differ between groups (1.2 kg/week +/−1.0 vs 0.6 kg/week +/−0.4, p < 0.09) Patients receiving meal support had a significantly lower rate of NGT feeds than those without meal support (11.1% vs 66.7%, p < 0.02) |
Kells, 2013 [78] | 52 (restrictive ED, no specific diagnoses reported) | Case control (patients who received at least one supervised meal/admission, n = 13 vs those who received no meal support, n = 39) | 8.4 (SD = 7.5) vs 5.9 (SD = 3.5), non-significant difference (p < 0.66) | Mean daily weight gain (kg) | No significant difference between groups (0.35 kg+/−0.23 kg/week vs 0.33 kg+/− 0.29 kg/week, p < 0.65) |
Kells, 2016 [79] | 108 (restrictive ED, no specific diagnoses reported) | Case control (patients with no meal support, n = 38 vs delayed meal support, n = 11 vs meal support, n = 54) | 5.9 (SD = 3.5) vs 9.8 (SD = 7.3) vs 6.7 (SD = 3.3), non-significant difference (p < 0.27) | Mean daily weight gain (kg) | No significant difference between groups (0.34 +/−0.29 kg/d vs 0.31 +/− 0.26 kg/d vs 0.32 +/− 0.29 kg/d, p < 0.63) |
Leacy, 2012 [80] | 40 (38 AN-R, 2 AN-B/P) | Case control (patients treated with selective menus, n = 22, compared to non-selective menus, n = 18) | 74.2 (SD = 28.7) vs 60.3 (SD = 22.8), non-significant difference (p < 0.09) | Mean weekly weight gain and change in EDE-Q scores | Patients treated with non-selective menus had a significantly higher weekly weight gain (0.95 +/− 0.35 kg/week) than those treated with selective menus (0.72 +/− 0.24 kg/week) (p < 0.02) There was no difference in change in EDE-Q scores between groups. |
