About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Core Group: Prevalence of Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Population

The 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.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Core Group: Prevalence of Adult Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Adult Population

The 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.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
3

Core Group: Prevalence of Paediatric/Adolescent Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Paediatric/Adolescent Population

The 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.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
4

Core Group: Prevalence of Male Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Male Population

The 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.

Time frame
Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

Time frame
Up to approximately 10 years
4

Core Group: Proportion of Participants as per Age with NT1 and NT2 at Symptom Onset

Time frame
