Commentary on Twitter
Great paper by @AndreaGarber2 showing that higher-calorie refeeding in #anorexia nervosa does not come at a higher risk of refeeding syndrome and can shorten hospital stays which is advantageous for both the patients/families and the medical system.https://t.co/aFQZKycpTX

Hot off the presses! Largest clinical trial of refeeding in #anorexianervosa shows that a higher-calorie approach is more efficacious & less costly than lower-calorie refeeding, with no increase in safety events & significant savings in healthcare costs. https://t.co/F0ciJAORdq
