Investigations on accident frequency are based on case history, insurance reports and driving simulator studies. The present study combines neuropsychological testing of different attention aspects engaged in driving a car and driving simulation to evaluate a suitable instrument for assessing therapeutic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Driving simulator investigation and neuropsychological testing of alertness, vigilance and divided attention were performed in 31 patients with polysomnographically confirmed OSAS (apnoea\u2013hypopnoea index 24.8\u00b121.5\u00b7h<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) before, and 2 and 42 days after initiation of CPAP.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Divided attention and alertness improved significantly during CPAP, whereas vigilance remained unchanged. However, accident frequency (OSAS before therapy: 2.7\u00b12.0; 2 days after CPAP: 1.5\u00b11.4; 42 days after CPAP: 0.9\u00b11.3) and frequency of concentration faults (OSAS before therapy: 12.4\u00b15.1; 2 days after CPAP: 6.5\u00b13.9; 42 days after CPAP: 4.9\u00b13.3) decreased in the simulated driving situation after 2 and 42 days of therapy. There was no relation between accident frequency, concentration faults and daytime sleepiness, as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and polysomnographic or neuropsychological findings, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In conclusion, the present results suggest that driving simulation is a possible benchmark parameter of driving performance in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.05.00054704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,1]],"date-time":"2005-11-01T19:12:56Z","timestamp":1130872376000},"page":"898-903","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Driving simulator and neuropsychological testing in OSAS before and under CPAP therapy"],"prefix":"10.1183","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Orth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H-W.","family":"Duchna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Leidag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Widdig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Rasche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.
