The association between narcolepsy during pregnancy and maternal-fetal risk factors/outcomes.

Objective: We sought to determine whether narcolepsy in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal-fetal outcomes.

Material And Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was performed using the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) for the period 2008-2017. The primary exposure was narcolepsy with cataplexy, narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), and without cataplexy, narcolepsy type 2 (NT2), and the endpoints were a composite of maternal-fetal outcomes or risk factors.

Inpatient palliative care use by patients with sickle cell disease: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Objective: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a highly morbid condition notable for recurrent hospitalisations due to vaso-occlusive crises and complications of end organ damage. Little is known about the use of inpatient palliative care services in adult patients with SCD. This study aims to evaluate inpatient palliative care use during SCD-related hospitalisations overall and during terminal hospitalisations.
