Average body mass index increased from 13.8 to 15.2 during an average 24-day hospital stay.

No serious complications were reported, and follow-up data indicated patient acknowledgment of the protocol's necessity.

Impact:

The findings support the use of intensive enteral nutrition and structured supervision in treating severe anorexia nervosa.
This protocol offers a viable option for improving nutritional status and clinical outcomes in a vulnerable patient population.
Patient retrospective views highlight the perceived value of intensive interventions despite initial difficulties.
