Healio (11/21, Gramigna) reports researchers found that “women with eating disorders are at an increased risk for adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes and should thus be recognized as a high-risk population among pregnant women.” The researchers wrote, “From a clinical point of view, these findings emphasize the importance of developing a reliable antenatal routine enabling identification of women with ongoing or previous eating disorders and considering extended pregnancy screening.” The findings were published in JAMA Psychiatry.
