Healio (10/27, Herpen) reports, “Pain, sleep and mood disorders were the most commonly found comorbidities among those with narcolepsy, with chronic pain being more than twice as likely to occur compared with matched controls,” researchers concluded after conducting “an electronic health record search between 2000 and 2020 to identify 2,057 individuals…who sought initial treatment for narcolepsy.” Also included in the study was a “separate control cohort of 2,057 participants” that “was propensity-score matched by birth year, age at initial treatment, sex, race, ICD code and mortality.” The findings were presented in a poster at the American Neurological Association’s annual meeting.
