Summary

Eating disorders (ED) comprise a multitude of symptoms involving a disturbed body image and a preoccupation with food or bodyweight. EDs are often difficult to treat, in part due to the lack of motivation for improvement. Anorexia nervosa (AN) has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disease, and less than half of patients will recover from the disease. Studies have found that patients suffering from AN have impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to the general population. It has also been suggested that despite improvement in clinical parameters, patients report deterioration in HRQoL, which is in line with a study finding low agreement between patient perceived outcome and clinician assessed characteristics. To evaluate the patients' perception of their disease, it is important to develop reliable and valid assessment tools. Previously generic questionnaires have been used to assess HRQoL in Danish ED patients, as no disease-specific questionnaires have been developed. Translating and validating a disease-specific questionnaire would provide a useful tool in assessing current treatment and in developing new treatment options. This study aimed to develop a Danish version of an internationally disease-specific HRQoL questionnaire. Furthermore, HRQoL is assessed in patients who have gone through shorter or longer treatment.
