Abstract
Initial re-feeding and medical stabilisation of patients with severe AN can be managed safely in specialist inpatient and community settings with slow re-feeding. Although the prevalence of complications was shown to be low, slight worsening of medical risk markers and increased incidence of complications did occur during initial re-feeding. The limited comparable published data appears to support slower rates of re-feeding, showing fewer abnormal results and complications. There is however a need for a definitive prospective multi-centre observational cohort study to investigate risks factors, and the effects of treatment on medical outcomes, in a large sample with varied rates of re-feeding.
