    Abstract:
    The present study aimed to provide a precise, meta-analytic estimate of the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) amongst those with a current primary eating disorder (ED) diagnosis, and to isolate its predictors. An online search of PubMed and PsycINFO was conducted with a Boolean search phrase incorporating keywords related to OCD, EDs, comorbidity, prevalence, and epidemiology, complemented by references coded from related review articles and contact with experts in the field. Articles were included if they (a) reported an observational study examining current ED diagnoses, (b) used a semi-structured or structured diagnostic interview for OCD and ED diagnosis, (c) applied DSM or ICD criteria, (d) included adolescent or adult samples (age > 12), (e) included patient or community samples, and (f) reported lifetime or current OCD comorbidity. From the 846 articles identified, 35 lifetime and 42 current estimates were calculated. OCD prevalence was extracted from each study for each ED diagnostic category, along with eleven additional potential moderators. Analyses revealed an aggregate lifetime OCD prevalence of 13.9% CI95% [10.4 to 18.1] and current OCD prevalence of 8.7% CI95% [5.8 to 11.8] across EDs. Moderator analyses revealed the prevalence of and risk for OCD in EDs to be greatest in anorexia nervosa binge-eating purging type (ANBP). Further, OCD is most prevalent amongst patient samples than samples recruited from the community.
