No current standard of care exists for pediatric patients with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) who are hospitalized for medical stabilization related to complications secondary to malnutrition. Clinical features of this diagnosis (e.g., sensory sensitivity) suggest that existing treatment protocols developed for patients with other restrictive eating disorders, like anorexia nervosa, may be less effective for patients with ARFID. This study first describes a pediatric sample of patients with ARFID upon admission to an inpatient service. Then, a case series is used to illustrate the potential benefits of using an adjusted protocol that was modified to better suit the needs of children and adolescents with ARFID. Findings support future study of the proposed adjusted protocol and may inform future standardization of improved care for this high priority clinical population.
