ABSTRACT Background Night eating syndrome (NES) is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 5th edition, as an example of “Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders” with minimal guidance about how to define operationalize NES. The literature suggests that research practices vary widely, making it difficult draw conclusions public health burden of, effective interventions for, policy implications relevant This Forum article seeks illustrate lack definitional agreement underscore need a consensus NES diagnostic criteria, propose steps toward closing knowledge gaps achieving consensus. Method We searched PubMed PsycINFO titles abstracts, using “NES” search term, articles published English between January 1, 2013 August 12, 2024 sample sizes > 10 ages 18 older. Eligible were coded definitions assessment method used diagnose participants information comorbidity any other disorder (ED). Results Seventy‐three met inclusion criteria. Most commonly, was diagnosed criteria set (35/73) symptom score threshold (34/73); among former, only eight studies employed DSM‐5 Thirteen studies, varying widely methodology, examined EDs, most commonly binge‐eating where high. Conclusion Heterogeneity impede progress study strategies developing definition addressing gaps.
