With no guidelines to inform the identification of cases of sleep disorders in administrative data, the objective of this study was to develop and validate a set of ICD-codes used to define sleep disorders including narcolepsy, insomnia, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in administrative data.Ī cohort of adult patients, with medical records reviewed by two independent board-certified sleep physicians from a sleep clinic in Calgary, Alberta between Januand December 31, 2011, was used as the reference standard. However, if insomnia is a side effect or symptom, the therapy will be to treat the condition/problem or to change the prescribed medication.Prevalence, and associated morbidity and mortality of chronic sleep disorders have been limited to small cohort studies, however, administrative data may be used to provide representation of larger population estimates of disease. Treatment is usually one or a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.To diagnose insomnia, a practitioner obtains a patient’s medical and sleep history, does a physical exam, and, if needed, does a sleep study.Those who are most likely at risk are older adults who are stressed, distressed, working at night, constantly traveling across time zones, aren’t active, or have financial problems.In some cases, chronic insomnia can also be a side effect or symptom of another condition, disorder, or medication.
