Description
Jackson Woodrow and seven co-authors compare lower limb soft tissue injury and repeat surgery rates in patients with anorexia or bulimia versus matched controls. The data came from a nameless claims database. The study came out in twenty twenty-six.
Tens of thousands of patients with each eating disorder were matched to like controls by propensity scores. Primary and repeat surgeries for knee and ankle ligament work and meniscus care were tracked by procedure codes. Patients over forty or with short follow up were left out. Bulimia patients showed higher risk for several injuries, among them knee ligament tears and ankle sprains, the authors report.
