Popis:	Among 448 patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), 40 patients (8.9%) had been involved in one or more automobile accidents during the preceding 5 years. The main cause of these accidents was falling asleep while driving. Excessive sleepiness during driving was associated with an Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score of11 and/or an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of15. The automobile accident rate among 182 patients with severe OSAHS (AHI30) was significantly higher than the rate among 106 simple snorers (AHI5). Although four of the simple snorers were involved in automobile accidents, their ESS scores were all very high (15 or more).
