14. One-Year Outcomes From a Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of Refeeding in Anorexia Nervosa: The Study of Refeeding to Optimize Inpatient Gains (STRONG)

We recently reported the short-term results of this RCT, demonstrating that higher calorie refeeding (HCR) restored medical stability earlier with no increase in safety events, and significant savings associated with shorter length of stay as compared to lower calorie refeeding (LCR) in hospitalized adolescents and young adults with anorexia nervosa (AN). Here we report the one-year outcomes including rates of clinical remission, rehospitalization rate, number of readmissions, and total number of hospital days following the initial admission.
