This study scrutinizes the agreement levels of ED diagnoses among endocrinologists and psychiatrists within a multidisciplinary team at an Eating Disorders Referral Center. While substantial overall agreement was achieved, disparities or lower agreement levels were evident for certain diagnoses such as anorexia nervosa binge-purge subtype. However, collaborative meetings led to a progressive enhancement in agreement over time. This research underscores the crucial role of a multidisciplinary team working collectively to ensure precise diagnoses and improved care for patients with EDs.
