Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a difficult disease state to identify, compounded by suboptimal clinician understanding. Data shows that clinicians lack the ability to identify IH based on clinical presentation and changes in quality of life (QoL), with correct diagnosis often taking a decade or more. Additionally, data shows that clinicians lack knowledge regarding diagnostic process for IH. This has a tremendous impact on patients’ abilities to function, and often prevents patients and their families from living a full life. Timely and accurate diagnosis must be achieved if patients are to improve, as the current timeline to diagnosis of up to 10-15 years is not reasonable for patients who are suffering.
In this CMEO BriefCase activity, join expert faculty Dr. Thorpy and Dr. Morse for a discussion on best practices to integrate appropriate assessments and tools to facilitate early diagnosis of IH.
