2 Statement of Need INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS Patients with narcolepsy often face a long journey on their path to diagnosis and effective treatment. Combating the negative impact of narcolepsy on the lives of those affected requires that both the general public and the medical community increase their awareness of the symptoms of narcolepsy, in particular, the most common presenting symptoms: cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness. Improved recognition of both symptoms and objective measures of narcolepsy can shorten the burdensome lag from symptom onset to effective treatment and improve the lives of people with this life-altering central disorder of hypersomnolence. Although a cure for narcolepsy is not available, effective treatments are currently available and more are on the horizon. In this neurosciencecme Expert Connection Module, faculty will discuss screening strategies for patients with possible narcolepsy, applying AASM quality measures for diagnosis of narcolepsy, and prescribing evidence-based treatment. Learning Objectives At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to: Prescribe evidence-based treatment for all patients with narcolepsy within one month of diagnosing the narcolepsy. The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE credit: Define evidence-based treatment for all patients with narcolepsy that can be used within one month of diagnosing the narcolepsy. Target Audience Primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers who manage patients with narcolepsy.

Swick, MD University of Texas Medical School Health Sciences Center at Houston Memorial and Katy Sleep Centers Houston, TX The Sleep Center at North Cypress Medical Center Cypress, TX Treating the Full Spectrum of Narcolepsy: Improving Nighttime Symptoms to Enhance Daytime Quality of Life Learning Objective Prescribe evidence-based treatment for all patients with narcolepsy within 1 month of diagnosing the narcolepsy. 7

8 AASM Quality Measures: Outcome Measures Reduce EDS Improve accuracy of diagnosis Reduce adverse events Treatment Initiation Following Initial Diagnosis Process Measure #2: Proportion of patients with a new diagnosis of narcolepsy that were advised to pursue pharmacologic and/or behavioral treatment for symptoms within 1 month of date of MSLT or diagnosis by CSF hypocretin Patient Survey Patient Survey Questions Five questions posed to people with narcolepsy who are active in social media The panel represents responses from people with narcolepsy and their caregivers How long do members of your community typically wait from the time of their sleep testing until they receive a prescription for effective treatment of their narcolepsy? Would they consider this to be a reasonable length of time? 8

9 Patient Survey Responses Effective treatment takes years and years sometimes. Doctors seem to start with old school treatments or inexpensive treatments. Patients end up going back to the doctor over and over again to find a better treatment. In the end, it takes a very long time, at least a year before their health starts improving. I finally received a correct diagnosis of narcolepsy after a second sleep study two years following one that diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I waited an additional two years without adequate treatment before I found a sleep specialist on my own and finally began receiving the care that has brought me to a place of functioning again. I do not consider two to four years a reasonable length of time to get appropriate medication.

Safety Measure Counseling Household chores Safety in the work environment Operation of hazardous equipment Career limitations Shift work On-call schedules Transportation industry 12

13 Clinical Connections Effective treatment should be instituted within 30 days of the diagnosis of narcolepsy being made. Primary care clinicians and sleep physicians must work closely together to ensure that response to treatment is monitored and adverse effects of treatment and medication interactions are minimized. Sleep physicians should communicate clearly with their patients primary care team to ensure the optimum outcome with the treatment of narcolepsy. Patients with narcolepsy frequently have comorbid conditions that must be addressed through an individualized treatment plan. Questions?
