Early weight gain trajectories in first episode anorexia: predictors of outcome for emerging adults in outpatient treatment

ConclusionFirst episode cases of AN treated via FREED fit into four distinct early response trajectory classes. These may represent subtypes of first episode AN patients. Three of these four trajectories included patients with substantial improvements 1  year later. For those in the non-response trajectory class, treatment adjustments or augmentations could be considered earlier, i.e., at treatment session 12.
