note = "Treatments for eating disorders (ED) entail very important
personal and health costs. There is increasing evidence to
suggest that therapeutic and pharmacologic interventions
minimize the effect of the disease on the physical, the
personal, family and workplace deterioration (Fairburn,
Wilson and Terence, 2013, Fallon and Wisniewski, 2013). The
aim of the present study has involved identifying the
different reasons that may be associated to psychological
and pharmacologic treatments dropout in patients diagnosed
with ED in the Eating Disorders Service (EDS) at the
University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla in Santander. In
order to recognize the different reasons for dropouts to
treatment, we conducted a survey of patients diagnosed with
ED by collecting data through a semistructured interview.
The sample consisted of a total of 87 patients suspected of
treatment dropout; however, the final sample was 54.",
