Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) commonly have cognitive complaints, particularly in attention, and report decreased quality of life. We examined how vigilance and sustained attention, as assessed by the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), were related to quality of life after controlling for apnea severity and depression in subjects with OSA.
