Analysis included: (i) medical complications during acute inpatient stabilisation; (ii) predictors of refeeding syndrome; (iii) predictors governing length of stay (LOS); and (iv) outcomes pre\u2010 and post\u2010implementation of multidisciplinary treatment guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrosepctive analysis of 95 consecutive admissions (60 individual patients) between November 2011 and August 2017 was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients had a median LOS of 9.6 days (interquartile range 5.8\u201319.7) and a mean weight gain of 1.4 kg (standard deviation 2.9). Medical complications included the following: hypoglycaemia (11.6%) and refeeding electrolyte derangement (26.3%). Advancing age (odds ratio (OR) 1.06 per year, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.019), nasogastric tube requirement (OR 3.4, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.014) and Code Grey(s) (security calls) (OR 7.1, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.010) were associated with refeeding electrolyte derangement. Parameters associated with increased LOS included the following: lower body mass index (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.029), Code Grey(s) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.029) and tachycardia (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.013). Following multivariate analysis, the post\u2010guidelines implementation group required less intravenous fluid and electrolyte replacement, though had lower rates of refeeding electrolyte derangement (OR 0.33 (0.11\u20130.99)).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with moderate to severe AN are at risk of dangerous medical complications, and older patients may have heightened predisposition to refeeding electrolyte derangement.
