A population-based and case-controlled study of children and adolescents with narcolepsy: Health-related quality of life, adaptive behavior and parental stress.

CONCLUSIONS: Children with narcolepsy have diminished HrQoL compared with controls. Parents of children with narcolepsy experience impaired adaptive behavior in their children and high levels of parenting stress. Identifying the contributory factors is necessary, and early intervention is crucial in order to improve the HrQoL of these children and their families.
