The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of admissions, comorbidity and mortality of patients who were admitted to psychiatric units in Iceland, diagnosed with AN in 1983-2008. Material and methods: The study is retrospective. 140 medical records with an AN or atypical eating disorder diagnosis according to the ICD-9 and ICD-10 were reviewed. Final sample was 84 patients with confirmed AN diagnosis. Results: Five men and 79 women were admitted to a psychiatric inpatient ward for the first time diagnosed with AN. Average age was 18.7 years. Incidence of admissions for both sexes in the first part of the study period (1983-1995) was 1.43/100.000 persons/year, 11-46 years old, but in the second part (1996-2008) 2.91. The increase was statistically significant (RR=2.03 95% CI 1.28-3.22) and can mainly be explained by an increased incidence of admissions to the children- and adolescent psychiatric wards (CAW). Mortality of women was 2/79 (2.5%) and standard mortality rate 6.25. The average length of stay was 97 days, 67.3 days in adult units and 129.7 days in CAW (p<0.05). In the study period 51 patients (60.7%) were only admitted once. One patient had compulsory admission on his first admission but ten (11.9%) had at some point compulsory admission. The body mass index increased in average from admission to discharge from 15.3 to 17.5 kg/m2. A correlation was found between self harm and suicide attempts and compulsory admissions. Conclusion: The study revealed an increased incidence between periods. This might reflect a real increase of AN in the society. Mortality rate was lower than expected.
