Abstract:

Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with sleep fragmentation and reduced blood oxygenation due to apnea and hypopnea episodes. Multiple studies indicate that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can have negative impact on cognitive functioning, primarily executive functions, attention, and episodic memory. The attention is also focused on cognition in patients with neurologic and psychiatric comorbidities. There are different explanatory models, which show the mechanisms of OSAS influence on cognition. However, it is still unclear how the initial severity of the disease and clinical outcomes interrelate, and which factors play role in the compensation of cognitive dysfunction. Better understanding of these issues is crucial for the prevention of cognitive impairment and rehabilitation of cognitive functioning.
