| Abstract | Introduction Eating disorders (EDs) are serious mental illnesses with multifactorial pathogenesis and biological, psychic, family, and sociocultural aspects. EDs are difficult-to-treat disorders that usually require strong therapeutic efforts implying high costs. The highest direct costs – in ED, as in mental health in general – are due to hospitalization. In Italy these costs are estimated on the bases of the Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG): 25 homogeneous groups of diagnoses with the same average production cost and the same refunding amount. Such a system does not reflect real costs and it does not enhance effectiveness of treatments. A good alternative to DRG could be an effective cost-benefit analysis. |
