RESUMO

Background Anorexia nervosa has a high mortality complicated by risks of under-nourishment, over-nourishment and care can be compromised by behavioural issues. Methods This is a retrospective study of ten patients with eating disorders admitted to Sligo University Hospital, treated by a "pop-up"/on demand multidisciplinary eating disorder team. Results All were female, mean BMI on admission was 14.35kg/m2, on discharge was 16.59kg/m2, (p=0.001) and was significantly lower than the initial measurement and may represent water-loading or bowel retention. Admission biochemistry was normal in nine subjects. Six subjects experienced refeeding syndrome, one was hypoglycaemic (3.1mmol/L) in the setting of an aspiration pneumonia, and five exhibited treatment avoiding behaviour including food caching, micro exercising. The mean length of stay was 38 days and was positively correlated with weight gain during admission (p=0.02). 6-month follow up BMI was higher than admission in eight subjects and the other two voluntarily withdrew from follow-up. Conclusion There was a high incidence of treatment avoiding behaviour, initial weights were misleadingly high, admission biochemistry misleadingly normal, hypoglycaemia associated with infection, and incidence of refeeding syndrome is high. Notwithstanding this these patients can be managed safely and effectively in a general hospital with a coordinated, well-structured approach by a multidisciplinary team.
