The journal club for Milwaukee-area eating disorders treatment professionals will meet at Rogers Memorial Hosptial in Milwaukee from 8 to 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2009.
This month, the group will be discussing, “A 4-Year Prospective Study of Eating Disorder NOS Compared with Full Eating Disorder Syndromes” as published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.

The study set out to examine the course of Eating Disorder NOS (EDNOS) compared with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED), via a prospective study of 385 participants meeting DSM-IV criteria for AN, BN, BED, and EDNOS at three sites.

From the abstract:

EDNOS remitted significantly more quickly that AN or BN but not BED. There were no differences between EDNOS and full ED syndromes, or the subtypes of EDNOS, in time to relapse following first remission. Only 18% of the EDNOS group had never had or did not develop another ED diagnosis during the study; however, this group did not differ from the remaining EDNOS group.
