| Summary: | Aims: Adolescents with eating disorders often require intensive inpatient care, and pharmacotherapy, including olanzapine, has been proposed as an adjunct to support weight restoration and reduce psychological symptoms such as food-related anxiety. However, evidence on olanzapine’s effectiveness in real-world adolescent settings remains limited. Ty Llidiard is the only inpatient general adolescent unit covering the whole of South Wales. The aim of this project is to evaluate whether Ty Llidiard provides effective medical care for its patients with eating disorders. The primary aim is evaluating weight restoration achieved as well as overall improvement in functioning. The secondary aim is evaluating whether the use of olanzapine is effective in achieving the primary aim. |
