WHAT IS A PATIENT REGISTRY?
• At it’s simplest, a patient registry is a database of information on people dealing with a similar medical condition.
• Can also be known as a medical or disease registry. • Information is keep confidential and the data is de-
identified in order to protect the privacy of the individual patients.

HOW DO REGISTRIES HELP PATIENTS?
• As noted by the National Institutes of Health, “Registries can provide health care professionals and researchers with first-hand information about people with certain conditions”.
• The goal is to increase understanding of those conditions amongst those who can help.
• Especially true in uncommon conditions.

PATIENT NARRATIVES• “Communicating my condition to others is stressful and frustrating. They
usually don't understand, which is emotionally difficult. The first reaction is typically laughter, until I explain what narcolepsy actually is. Many times people still think I am just either lazy or not getting enough sleep (hours).”
• “Whilst I am a generally happy person and I am well supported by my family, narcolepsy makes my life very lonely and causes me to feel isolated at times. I can no longer work so I don't have the same level of interaction with people that I did for all of my working life.”
![Page 20: NEXUS NARCOLEPSY REGISTRY · • First average physician consult for narcolepsy symptoms was at 27 years of age. • Average age at diagnosis was 31, representing a delay of 12 years](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051605/60132d8bf884594e6d323854/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ADDITIONAL RESPONSES• “The effects I suffer from most are foggy brain, automatic behavior,
procrastination, slow moving, always late, feeling stuck, spacey, forgetful.”
• “Each & every day is a battle to make sure I get my first dose taken the second I wake up or I'll fall back asleep & then it might be 3-4 hours before I wake up again, hopefully awake enough the second time around to take my dose or the cycle starts all over again. I really hope all these questions help.”
