Abstract

Objective: The fi rst web-based registry for childhood and adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) in Germany was established to systematically collect demographic and clinical data. These data as well as information on how young individuals with AN can fi nd access to healthcare services are presented. Method: Patientś data from child and adolescent psychiatry departments of 12 university hospitals and two major nonuniversity hospitals in Germany were collected between January 2015 and December 2016. All patients met the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for (atypical) AN. Sociodemographic data, type and amount of healthcare utilization before admission, and clinical data at admission and discharge were compiled. Results: 258 patients with a mean age of 14.7 years and a mean BMI at admission of 15.3 kg/m2 were included. The parents and patients had a higher educational level than the general German population. More than 80 % of the patients reported having utilized healthcare before hospitalization. The mean duration of outpatient treatment before hospitalization was 7 months. Conclusions: There seem to be major barriers to specialist treatment for young patients with AN in Germany, which should be analyzed in future studies.
