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）影响四分之一的中年人。OSA导致神经行为功能受损，过度嗜睡，以及超过2倍的机动车碰撞风险和工作场所事故。然而，并非所有患者都受到损害，识别风险患者是日常临床挑战。该项目提出了新的和简单的措施，可以准确地识别谁是最容易警觉失败和机动车事故风险的OSA患者。
