TI  - Remission, recovery, relapse, and recurrence in eating disorders: 
      conceptualization and illustration of a validation strategy.
PG  - 833-46
AB  - In a consensus-building process a group of experts from 19 European countries 
      (COST Action B6) adapted the terms partial and full remission, relapse, recovery, 
      and recurrence according to principles described by Frank et al. for depression. 
      The empirical validity of the operationalizations was illustrated by longitudinal 
      data on the post treatment course of 233 anorectic and 422 bulimic patients 
      (diagnosed according to DSM-IIIR) from the German Project TR-EAT. These data were 
      collected 2.5 years after admission using the Longitudinal Interval Follow-up 
      Evaluation (LIFE) and statistically explored by survival-analysis. It was 
      demonstrated that these consensus definitions measure what they intend to 
      measure. They open a longitudinal perspective in that one can learn not only 
      whether, but also when and with what probability patients change for the better 
      or worse. Data suggest that persistence of symptom improvement has different 
      implications for anorexia and bulimia nervosa. For example, relapse prevention 
      would be most beneficial for bulimic patients for about 4 months after key 
      symptoms remit, while this would be of less importance for anorexic patients. It 
      is discussed whether and how this longitudinal approach can contribute to an 
      empirically based rationale for targeted and individualized treatment.
