42. Clinical Outcomes Among Adolescents Diagnosed With Anorexia Nervosa During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a rise in the incidence and severity of anorexia nervosa (AN) among youth, accompanied by longer wait times for services and limited opportunities for in-person visits. How these changes affected outcomes for adolescents with AN remains largely unknown. We sought to assess clinical outcomes of adolescents with newly diagnosed AN or atypical AN (AAN) over a 1 year period treated during the pandemic compared to preceding years.

45. Orthorexia Nervosa in the Adolescent Population
Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is a pathological obsession with healthy eating that may lead to protein-calorie malnutrition, yet ON is not a formal medical or psychiatric diagnosis. There is increasing interest surrounding ON as new dieting tactics have emerged including those involving “clean eating.” It is our assumption that patients with eating disorders demonstrate more orthorexic tendencies, but that ON symptoms are present in both patients with eating disorders and in the general adolescent (GA) population.

48. Associations Between Eating Disorders and Sociodemographic Factors in Adolescent Patients Since the Start of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to significant increases in mental health related diagnoses in adolescents, including eating disorders. The perception of young, non-minoritized, upper-class females as the stereotypical demographic in the diagnosis of eating disorders has been challenged. Disparities in access, diagnosis and treatment exist for adolescents with eating disorders. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on disparities in eating disorder diagnosis has not yet been described in an adolescent population. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

49. Understanding the National Burden of Eating Disorders Using Years of Life Lost
The global burden of disease due to eating disorders (ED) has increased rapidly, resulting in decreased quality of life, increased health system costs, and premature morbidity and mortality. Years of Life Lost (YLL) is a novel epidemiologic measurement that gives weight to premature deaths among younger individuals, which can reveal how earlier incidence and increased premature mortality of a creates significant burdens in younger persons. The primary aim of this study is to quantify and describe trends in the mortality attributable to eating disorders in the United States between the years of 1999 and 2020 using YLL. (Sou...

50. Barriers to Screening and Diagnosis of Eating Disorders in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting
The primary care setting offers a unique opportunity for the early intervention and management of pediatric eating disorders (EDs). Previous studies and reviews of medical education, however, have demonstrated a lack of adequate training in their identification and treatment as many eating disorders often go underrecognized, particularly in patients who do not fit the common demographic, body-type, or symptom profile of a patient with an ED. Given the various limitations on a provider ’s time, we hypothesized that certain biases may be at play in which patients a provider might elect to screen for eating disorders and th...

Negative energy balance contributes to bradycardia and other vital sign instabilities warranting hospitalization in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with anorexia nervosa (AN) or atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN). However, the effect of pre-admission, self-reported exercise and dietary restriction on short-term refeeding outcomes has not been examined. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

55. Use of Telehealth for the Provision of Outpatient Treatment for Patients With Eating Disorders During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Eating disorder (ED) diagnoses and hospitalizations and the use of telehealth rose substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in many adolescent patients with EDs receiving care via telehealth rather than in-person. The aim of our study was to determine if adolescent patients and/or their parents/guardians found telehealth visits to be an acceptable alternative to in-person visits with respect to their outpatient ED care. We were particularly interested in evaluating how past experience with office visits, as well as age, would affect participants ’ responses. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

56. Closing the Gap for Non-Adolescent Medicine Clinicians: Building Capacity for Care of Adolescents in Gender Health, Eating Disorders and Reproductive Health
The sexual health needs of adolescents and young adults (AYA) continue to evolve in the current socio-political climate, extending far beyond the number of adolescent medicine (AM) trained clinicians available to provide specialized care. To meet this demand, addressing knowledge gaps among clinicians outside of AM is critical. The New York State (NYS) AIDS Institute ’s Clinical Education Initiative Sexual Health Center of Excellence (CEI SHCOE) educates NYS clinicians on sexual health topics. In Fall 2021, the CEI SHCOE partnered with the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Division of AM to increase the capac...
