It is unclear whether this is also a feasible approach for extremely malnourished, adult AN patients. Methods: Outcomes of a clinical refeeding protocol involving a targeted initial intake of \u22652000 kcal\/day, routine supplementation of phosphate and thiamine as well as close medical monitoring, were evaluated. A retrospective chart review including AN patients with a body mass index (BMI) &lt;13 kg\/m\u00b2 was conducted, to describe changes in weight, BMI, and laboratory parameters (phosphate, creatine kinase, hematocrit, sodium, liver enzymes, and blood count) over four weeks. Results: In 103 female patients (age, mean \u00b1 standard deviation (SD) = 23.8 \u00b1 5.3 years), BMI between admission and follow-up increased from 11.5 \u00b1 0.9 to 13.1 \u00b1 1.1 kg\/m\u00b2 and total weight gain within the first four weeks was 4.2 \u00b1 2.0 kg (mean, SD). Laboratory parameter monitoring indicated no case of RS, but continuous normalization of blood parameters. Conclusions: Combined with close medical monitoring and electrolyte supplementation, accelerated refeeding may also be applied to achieve medical stabilization in extremely underweight adults with AN without increasing the risk of RS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9051535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]],"date-time":"2020-05-20T10:37:38Z","timestamp":1589971058000},"page":"1535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Outcomes of an Accelerated Inpatient Refeeding Protocol in 103 Extremely Underweight Adults with Anorexia Nervosa at a Specialized Clinic in Prien, Germany"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Thorsten","family":"Koerner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Verena","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy of childhood and adolescence, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 University Berlin, corporate member of Free University Berlin, Humboldt-University Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Heese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matislava","family":"Karacic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elmar","family":"Ngo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph U.","family":"Correll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy of childhood and adolescence, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 University Berlin, corporate member of Free University Berlin, Humboldt-University Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, 13353 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Molecular medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell, Hempstead, NY 11549, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, the Zucker Hillside Hospital, Glen Oaks, NY 11004, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0261-3145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulrich","family":"Voderholzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen (LMU), 80336 M\u00fcnchen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Cuntz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Clinic Roseneck; Am Roseneck 6, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee, Germany"},{"name":"Research program for the evaluation of psychotherapy in complex therapeutic settings, PMU Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"582","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-8223(21)33593-3","article-title":"Human starvation and its consequences","volume":"22","author":"Keys","year":"1946","journal-title":"J.
