Dear Janet,

 

Thank you for your FOI request.

 

Our team has asked for clarification on Q1: How many times CYP referred to
and/or treated by your services were admitted to general medical wards for
eating disorders for refeeding and medical stabilisation with relation to
their eating disorder, including treatment electrolyte abnormalities?

 

In order for us to generate the appropriate report, we search and filter
by ICD10 codes. Can you please provide the appropriate ICD10 that you
would like us to search against? If unsure, we will generate a report
based on discharge diagnosis for ICD10 code F50 (A disorder characterized
by deliberate weight loss, induced and sustained by the patient) and its
subcategories.

 

Kind regards,

Dear FOI BHT - Berkshire Healthcare NHS Trust,

For question one, please search against the ICD code F50, which as you say is broader and will encompass all EDs with deliberate food restriction and weightloss, including through purging.
