Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Mortality in Patients With Anorexia Nervosa
Our findings confirm that AN remains a severe psychiatric disorder, underscoring the clinical importance of suicide prevention and monitoring cardiac complications. A low BMI is a crucial clinical indicator for high-risk groups and allocating resources. Limitations include excluding studies with zero deaths, substantial heterogeneity among included studies, the underrepresentation of male and non-Western populations, and most studies originating from specialist clinics.
