Program Description
As research in sleep medicine continues to evolve, the Keeping Up With Sleep Journal Club offers a way to stay current on topics such as narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea, as well as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which can be an outcome of either condition even in appropriately treated patients. In this issue of the Journal Club, expert faculty provide commentary on a curated collection of recent publications related to EDS and narcolepsy in pediatric populations and on the associations between EDS and obesity, Parkinson disease, and gastroesophogeal reflux.
