Quantify Research has co-authored a new paper on the health care and productivity costs of narcolepsy, using comprehensive Swedish registry data.
The study matched incident narcolepsy patients to controls by age and sex to isolate the disease burden.
The study’s findings included:
👉2–5x higher use of inpatient, outpatient, and pharmaceutical care
👉Significantly more days on sick leave and disability leave
The results point to a substantial economic burden, both for the health care system and society.
