We aimed to explore the perspectives of individuals with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), narcolepsy type 2 (NT2), and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), and the challenges they encounter in their daily lives and within the healthcare systems in the Nordics. Interviews with patients (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200941) and healthcare professionals (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200914) and a patient survey (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200970) were conducted in 2022 in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway to develop a patient journey map that visualises the patient with CDH journey and provides insights into the difficulties faced by these individuals. The patient journey mapping approach was chosen to focus on the processes and experiences of patients, highlighting the challenges they confront. Our findings revealed that the process of receiving a CDH diagnosis, as well as subsequent misdiagnoses and treatment, can be protracted and burdensome. CDH diagnoses remain poorly understood by neurologists, general practitioners, and the public, resulting in adverse consequences, with patients reporting a mean (standard deviation [SD]) time from symptom onset to diagnosis of 8.4\u2009(5.11)\u2009years and a mean (SD) of 5.5\u2009(4.17)\u2009productive hours lost\/day. The available non\u2010pharmaceutical support for patients with CDH, encompassing medical, psychological, educational, and professional assistance, was insufficient. The generalisability of the findings to one specific diagnosis is limited due to the collective analysis of the CDH. These findings are invaluable for identifying disruptions in the patient with CDH journeys and for designing improved pathways for those with NT1, NT2, and IH in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.14376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,27]],"date-time":"2024-10-27T05:24:16Z","timestamp":1730006656000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Patient experiences of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia in the Nordics: a patient journey map"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7351-7834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e4rt","family":"Vesinurm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nordic Healthcare Group Oy  Helsinki Finland"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Aalto University School of Science  Espoo Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"D\u00fcnweber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Takeda AS  Vallensb\u00e6k Strand Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesper","family":"Rimestad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Takeda AS  Asker Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9567-470X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne\u2010Marie","family":"Landtblom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences, Neurology Uppsala University  Uppsala Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences Link\u00f6ping University  Link\u00f6ping Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6986-5254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Poul J\u00f8rgen","family":"Jennum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Rigshospitalet Danish Center for Sleep Medicine  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.8482"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-019-09365-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.14888"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2015.08.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ane.12794"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ane.13202"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000003787"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.15479"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2006.10.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","first-page":"105","article-title":"Functional magnetic resonance imaging in narcolepsy and the Kleine\u2013Levin syndrome","volume":"5","author":"Engstr\u00f6m M.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Frontiers in Neurology"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0404.2006.00594.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.smj.0000056655.15660.42"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13030652"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ane.13532"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4419-0854-4_17"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2003.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ebiom.2019.01.041"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2869.1994.tb00104.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2019.10.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5665\/sleep.2706"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2012.06.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.27493"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2017.03.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.9910"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrdp.2016.100"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2020.101306"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_28_1","volume-title":"Digital health and wireless solutions.
