Factors associated with readmission in patients with eating disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study examined predictors of readmission to inpatient/residential settings in patients with eating disorders. We hypothesized that readmitted patients would report worse transitional care and continuity of care compared to those who were not readmitted.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional, online survey of 80 individuals from the US who reported that they were diagnosed with an eating disorder requiring inpatient/residential treatment. Participants completed questionnaires on demographic and clinical characteristics, the Care Transition Model-15, and the Continuity of Care Questionnaire. We analyzed data using univariate statistics and a series of logistic regression models.

Results

Participants who reported better transitional care (adjusted OR (AOR)
