Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to find out how many people in Spain have been diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 and type 2, and how many new participants are diagnosed each year. Narcolepsy is a rare sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness. The researchers will look at medical records from hospitals across Spain to count participants with these conditions and understand patterns in diagnosis over time.

Detailed description

The aim is to do epidemiology study in the core group thus the enrolment number is not applicable to this group, however approximately100 participants in the supplementary group (online survey).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Core Group: Prevalence of Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 PopulationUp to 1 yearThe overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of people living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Prevalence of Adult Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Adult PopulationUp to 1 yearThe overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of adult participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of adult people living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Incidence of NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Adult PopulationUp to 2 yearsThe incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of adult participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of adults living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Incidence of Paediatric/Adolescent NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Paediatric/Adolescent PopulationUp to 2 yearsThe incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of paediatric/adolescent participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of paediatric/adolescent living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Incidence of Male NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Male PopulationUp to 2 yearsThe incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of male participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of male participants living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Incidence of Female NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Female PopulationUp to 2 yearsThe incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of female participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of female participants living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Supplementary Group: Number of Participants with NT1 and NT2 who Attend Regular Follow-upsOn a day of survey (any 1 day) during the study for each participantProportion of Participants with NT1 and NT2 in Spain who attended regular follow ups at only public hospitals, only private hospitals, and both private and public hospitals will be reported.
Core Group: Prevalence of Paediatric/Adolescent Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Paediatric/Adolescent PopulationUp to 1 yearThe overall study prevalence will be calculated as number of diagnosed paediatric/adolescent participants from all public hospitals divided by number of paediatric/adolescent living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Prevalence of Male Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Male PopulationUp to 1 yearThe overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of male participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of males living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Prevalence of Female Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Females PopulationUp to 1 yearThe overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of female participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of females living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
Core Group: Incidence of NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 PopulationUp to 2 yearsThe incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years). And for each year, the number of participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of people living in the areas served by the hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.
