Background: Many research and meta-analytic studies have shown that individuals at high clinical risk for psychosis (CHR-P) often exhibit complex clinical conditions characterized by the co- occurrence of multiple psychopathological syndromes. Currently, evidence about the presence of eating disorders (EDs) in this population is limited. Here we present a research protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis with the objectives of estimating the impact of sociodemographic and study variables on the ED diagnosis in CHR-P individuals and of resuming the available knowledge on the features of EDs in CHR-P samples. Methods: PubMed, EBSCO/APA PsycINFO, and Web of Science will be searched for articles published from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022. Original research assessing EDs in CHR-P samples with validated measures will be included. Two independent researchers will screen the articles and evaluate their quality using a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale–potential disagreements will be solved by contacting a third judge. A narrative synthesis will be performed. Moreover, whenever applicable, random-effect models (proportions) and meta-regressions will be applied to extracted data. The study will be conducted using the PRISMA guidelines. Discussion: Since the empirical literature regarding EDs in CHR-P samples is limited, this study intends to increase knowledge on the topic and inform preventive interventions aimed at addressing clinical challenges of CHR-P patients with ED.

Abstract
Background: Many research and meta-analytic studies have shown that individuals at high clinical risk for psychosis (CHR-P) often exhibit complex clinical conditions characterized by the co- occurrence of multiple psychopathological syndromes. Currently, evidence about the presence of eating disorders (EDs) in this population is limited. Here we present a research protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis with the objectives of estimating the impact of sociodemographic and study variables on the ED diagnosis in CHR-P individuals and of resuming the available knowledge on the features of EDs in CHR-P samples. Methods: PubMed, EBSCO/APA PsycINFO, and Web of Science will be searched for articles published from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022. Original research assessing EDs in CHR-P samples with validated measures will be included. Two independent researchers will screen the articles and evaluate their quality using a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale–potential disagreements will be solved by contacting a third judge. A narrative synthesis will be performed. Moreover, whenever applicable, random-effect models (proportions) and meta-regressions will be applied to extracted data. The study will be conducted using the PRISMA guidelines. Discussion: Since the empirical literature regarding EDs in CHR-P samples is limited, this study intends to increase knowledge on the topic and inform preventive interventions aimed at addressing clinical challenges of CHR-P patients with ED.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
