All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Among Patients With Narcolepsy
In this cohort study of Taiwanese residents, narcolepsy was not associated with excess all-cause or cause-specific mortality. These findings reduce immediate clinical concern, but the wide 95% CIs suggest that a modest increase in risk cannot be excluded; replication in other populations with longer follow-up is warranted.
