Follow Up Studies

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychosomatic disorder which most typically begins between 16 and 18 years of age. Clinicians have often held that early onset (eg, ages 11 to 15) is associated with a better outcome. This paper reviews the long-term outcome studies on anorexia nervosa and concludes that this contention is not supported by available data. The methodologies of seven outcome studies that focus on an early onset population are critiqued, and it is concluded that two methodologies are strong. Because of the increasing prevalence of anorexia nervosa, this once rare disorder can now be more easily investigated, and consequently better follow-up studies, which examine potential prognostic factors including age of onset, should be forthcoming.

Long Term Follow Up

Antenatal steroids (ANS) are proven strategies to maximize outcomes of premature neonates without any major maternal side effects. Their use results in decreased incidence of neonatal mortality and major morbidities (respiratory distress syndrome, early onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and intraventricular hemorrhage). However, due to concerns of long-term adverse effect (early onset hypertension and poor neurological outcome), a close follow-up is required. Similarly, due to lack of long-term follow-up data and potential risk of hypoglycemia, a cautious use is recommended in late preterms and elective cesareans. There is currently no consensus regarding preferential use of one ANS over the other. The current review therefore tried to address these issues for use of ANS in Indian prospective in light of recent emerging evidence. Due to better safety profile, lesser side effects, lower cost, and easy storage, we recommend dexamethasone as a steroid of choice for antenatal prophylaxis.
