Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects 1 in 4 middle aged adults. OSA results in impaired neurobehavioral function, excessive sleepiness, and more than 2-fold increased motor vehicle crash risk and workplace accidents. However, not all patients are impaired and identifying patients at risk is a daily clinical challenge. This project proposes new and simple measures that can accurately identify patients with OSA who are most vulnerable to alertness failure and motor vehicle accident risk.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)影响1/4的中年人。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停会导致神经行为功能受损、过度嗜睡，并使机动车碰撞风险和工作场所事故增加两倍以上。然而，并不是所有的患者都受损，识别有风险的患者是一项日常的临床挑战。该项目提出了新的、简单的措施，可以准确地识别最容易出现警觉失误和机动车事故风险的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者。
