Summary

This study tests whether early, intensive day hospital treatment—with family involvement and multidisciplinary care—can improve outcomes for adolescents with anorexia nervosa compared to standard outpatient care. About 164 teens aged 12-18 with recent-onset anorexia will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this approach reduces hospitalizations and emergency visits over one year.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Day hospital treatment (multidisciplinary care including pediatrician, psychiatrist, dietitian, and family sessions)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that early, intensive day hospital care helps teens with anorexia recover faster and reduces hospital visits.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small study (164 participants) and results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is intensive and may not be feasible everywhere.
