The majority of participants were Australian born females from an Anglo-Saxon background, which could limit the application of these findings to other populations.Д¬linicians trained in using a structured documentation suite and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Version ICD-10 interviewed the participants at the time of the initial assessment. All patients who were diagnosed with a DSM-IV eating disorder were included in the study. However this study was unable to examine the reliability of the new diagnostic criteria or the impact of DSM-5 on binge eating disorder.Дata came from 285 consecutive patients over the age of 17 who attended an outpatient clinic for eating disorders in Melbourne, Australia, from 2009 to 2014. ConclusionsДSM-5 has reduced the reliance on EDNOS. The removal of Criterion D, amenorrhoea, was the leading cause for transition from EDNOS to AN. We observed a 23.5% reduction in the diagnosis of OSFED/UFED with the implementation of DSM-5 compared to EDNOS with DSM-IV. Information in the clinical records included structured clinical interviews, and self-rating scales of eating disorder and other psychiatric symptoms and a longitudinal narrative of patient performance and attitude during observed meals. The referral process may also have been skewed towards AN, BN and EDNOS due to a perception by referring parties that binge eating disorder was a вЂmilderвЂ™ condition that did not require specialist intervention.

It is possible that individuals with binge eating disorder were not referred to the clinic following the initial referral and assessment due to the lack of binge eating specific interventions available. This is surprising given the prevalence of binge eating disorder in the community. No patients were diagnosed with binge eating disorder during the study period. All patients who had attended the clinic and received an eating disorder diagnosis during this period were included in the study. The clinical records of patients with diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) and EDNOS were retrospectively assessed using the DSM-5 criteria. MethodsДў85 participants were recruited from a specialised eating disorder clinic in Australia over a 5-year period from 2009 until 2014. It also aims to compare the psychopathology between the EDNOS and OSFED/UFED groups. This study aims to evaluate the changes in percentages of patients in a residual DSM-IV category compared to a residual DSM-5 category by retrospectively applying DSM-5 criteria to the clinical records of a patient population in a clinical setting. In DSM-5 the residual category is renamed Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) and Unspecified Eating Disorders (UFED) however the diagnostic criteria for the residual category in each of the diagnostic systems remains the same. DSM-IV resulted in a large number of patients being diagnosed with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS).

Further research on the validity of the DSM-5 specifiers is needed and should test additional clinical or functional variables and especially prognostic utility for course and outcome across eating disorders. The groups also did not differ significantly on the frequency of binge eating or purging episodes within the past 28days.ConclusionsOur findings, in this clinical sample of patients with AN in Portugal, provide no evidence for the new DSM-5 severity ratings based on BMI level. Analyses comparing the severity groups on measures of eating-disorder psychopathology revealed no significant differences on the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire global or subscale scores. The severity groups did not differ significantly in age or gender. Participants were categorised based on DSM-5 severity levels and were compared on demographic and clinical variables assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire.ResultsBased on DSM-5 severity definitions for AN, 73 (36.3%) participants were categorised as mild (17.0 BMI), 40 (19.9%) as moderate (16-16.99 BMI), 30 (14.9%) as severe (15-15.99 BMI) and 58 (28.9%) as extreme (<15 BMI). ObjectiveThis study tested the new DSM-5 severity criterion for anorexia nervosa (AN) based on proposed body mass index (BMI) cut-points.MethodParticipants were a clinical sample of 201 treatment-seeking patients diagnosed with DSM-5 AN in Portugal.
