Successful outcome for adolescent anorexia nervosa includes achieving weight restoration. Despite the importance of this measurement, there are significant discrepancies in the field on how to quantify expected body weight (EBW). A survey was sent to 113 child and adolescent eating disorder treatment providers inquiring about the methods used to determine weight restoration in their clinical practice. Although 40.7% used growth curve data, the remaining employed a diverse range of approaches. Providers who specialize in Family-Based Treatment were significantly more likely to use an individualized approach versus considering adolescent preference. Although there is a modicum of endorsement for using growth curves to predict EBW, this is not universal practice and is inconsistent with methods used in treatment studies. The lack of an evidence-based method to calculate EBW-or even a best practice consensus for calculating this number-is a major oversight in the field that requires empirical attention.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2023.
All research outputs
#2,426,810
of 27,770,523 outputs
Outputs from Eating Disorders
#84
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,856
of 346,266 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Eating Disorders
#4
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,770,523 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 346,266 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
