Abstract
Objective: We wanted to know whether
adolescents with eating disorder not otherwise
specified (EDNOS) differ from
those with bulimia nervosa (BN) in clinical
features, comorbidity, risk factors,
treatment outcome or cost.
Method: Adolescents with EDNOS (n
5 24) or BN (n 5 61) took part in a trial
of family therapy versus guided self-care.
At baseline, eating disorder symptoms,
risk factors, and costs were assessed by
interview. Patients were reinterviewed at
6 and 12 months.
Results: Compared with EDNOS, BN
patients binged, vomited and purged significantly
more, and were more preoccupied
with food. Those with EDNOS had
more depression and had more current
and childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder.
66.6% of EDNOS versus 27.8% of
BN patients were abstinent from bingeing
and vomiting at 1 year. Diagnosis did
not moderate treatment outcome. Costs
did not differ between groups.
Conclusion: EDNOS in adolescents is
not trival. It has milder eating disorder
symptoms but more comorbidity than
BN.
