Abstract

Abstract Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a rare neurological sleep disorder, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness despite normal sleep duration, that can significantly impact patient’s lives. The burden of IH goes beyond excessive daytime sleepiness, pervading all aspects of everyday life. Characteristic and burdensome symptoms of IH include sleep inertia/drunkenness, long sleep duration, and daytime cognitive dysfunction. This systematic review assessed current knowledge regarding IH diagnostic challenges and burden of illness. Literature searches for original epidemiological, clinical, humanistic, or economic research relevant to IH published between 2012 and 2022 in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, gray literature (diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines), conferences (2019–2022), and clinical trial databases yielded 97 articles. Findings indicate that IH remains a poorly defined diagnosis of exclusion that is difficult to distinguish from narcolepsy type 2 because of symptom overlap and inadequacies of objective testing. Consequently, individuals with IH endure diagnostic delays of up to 9 years. The economic burden of IH has not been characterized to any appreciable extent. Pharmacological treatment options can improve symptoms and functional status, but rarely restores normal levels of functioning. These findings highlight the need to reclassify central disorders of hypersomnolence. Further collaboration is now required between research groups to identify and validate objective markers to help redefine diagnostic criteria for IH. This would move IH into a position that could benefit from future targeted therapeutic interventions. The study was funded by Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc.
