Advancements in Inpatient Medical Management of Malnutrition in Children and Adolescents with Restrictive Eating Disorders

There is an urgent need to identify best practices for hospital treatment of youth with malnutrition secondary to restrictive eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa (AN) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

These acute medical complications improve with refeeding, or short-term nutritional rehabilitation, and will resolve with ongoing recovery.
