The keywords in the search were \u201ceating disorder,\u201d \u201ctrauma\u201d and \u201cnon-interpersonal,\u201d using index-terms and free-search keywords related to NTE and ED. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. Relevant studies were screened using Rayyan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 16 studies included in the quantitative synthesis, five overall types of NTE were identified: <jats:italic>accidents<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>illness<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>injury<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>natural disaster<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>war<\/jats:italic>. Findings provided tentative evidence for <jats:italic>illness<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>injury<\/jats:italic> being more prevalent in patients suffering from an ED compared to controls. The remaining subtypes of NTE did not show a higher prevalence in patients with an ED when compared to controls. Findings also suggest that those with binge\/purge subtype of anorexia nervosa (AN) had a higher prevalence of non-interpersonal traumatic events compared to the restrictive subtype of AN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This systematic review provided a clear synthesis of previous findings related to NTE among patients with an ED. Noteworthy, is that many studies do not take into account if the trauma happened prior or after to ED onset, which may affect the association. Furthermore, the body of research on NTE in patients with ED is exceedingly limited, and more research is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2024.1397952","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]],"date-time":"2024-06-17T15:46:23Z","timestamp":1718639183000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Non-interpersonal traumatic events in patients with eating disorders: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Kirstine Marie","family":"Johnsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirstine Franciska","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristine Kahr","family":"Nilsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gry","family":"Kjaersdam Tell\u00e9us","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"22482","DOI":"10.3402\/ejpt.v4i0.22482","article-title":"The prevalence and impact of trauma history in eating disorder patients","volume":"4","author":"Backholm","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur.
