Background: Little is known about employment status, occupation, and disposable income in adults with NF1.
Methods: From the Danish National Patient Registry and database of two national Centers for Rare Diseases, we identified 1469 adults with NF1, who were matched to 11,991 randomly selected population comparisons on sex and birth year and month. Annual information on employment, occupation and disposable income was ascertained from national registries in 1980-2019.

Purpose: The Danish neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) cohort was initiated to study health-related, socioeconomic and psychological consequences of living with the monogenetic disorder NF1 using a nationwide and population-based approach.
Participants: The cohort includes all 2467 individuals in Denmark who were hospitalised with or due to NF1 from 1977 to 2013 or registered in the RAREDIS Database (1995-2013), a national clinical database for rare diseases, or both. A comparison cohort matched to individuals with NF1 on sex and date of birth was identified in the Civil Registration System (n=20 132).

Purpose: The aim was to assess lifetime risk for hospitalization in individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1).
Methods: The 2467 individuals discharged with a diagnosis indicating NF1 or followed in a clinical center for NF1 were matched to 20,132 general population comparisons. Based on diagnoses in 12 main diagnostic groups and 146 subcategories, we calculated rate ratios (RRs), absolute excess risks (AERs), and hazard ratios for hospitalizations.
