Patients with EDNOS were subcategorized into partial AN (pAN) and partial BN (pBN) when they met all Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition criteria but 1 for AN or BN, respectively. Primary outcome variables were heart rate, systolic blood pressure, temperature, and QTc interval on electrocardiogram. Additional physiologically significant medical complications were also reviewed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n A total of 25.2% of females had AN, 12.4% had BN, and 62.4% had EDNOS. The medical severity of patients with EDNOS was intermediate to that of patients with AN and BN in all primary outcomes. Patients with pAN had significantly higher heart rates, systolic blood pressures, and temperatures than those with AN; patients with pBN did not differ significantly from those with BN in any primary outcome variable; however, patients with pAN and pBN differed significantly from each other in all outcome variables. Patients with pBN and BN had longer QTc intervals and higher rates of additional medical complications reported at presentation than other groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n EDNOS is a medically heterogeneous category with serious physiologic sequelae in children and adolescents. Broadening AN and BN criteria in pediatric patients to include pAN and pBN may prove to be clinically useful.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-1777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,12]],"date-time":"2010-04-12T23:04:12Z","timestamp":1271113452000},"page":"e1193-e1201","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":127,"title":["Are Diagnostic Criteria for Eating Disorders Markers of Medical Severity?"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Rebecka","family":"Peebles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Mountain View, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina K.","family":"Hardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenny L.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Mountain View, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James D.","family":"Lock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120905343668300_B1","article-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","volume-title":"Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR)","year":"2000","edition":"4th ed."},{"key":"2021120905343668300_B2","first-page":"4","article-title":"Treatment of patients with eating disorders","volume":"163","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am J Psychiatry"},{"key":"2021120905343668300_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S117","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.20458","article-title":"Classification of child and adolescent eating disturbances.
