Objective To explore the effects of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on the cognitive function of pilots. Methods The cognitive function of 13 pilots diagnosed as severe OSAHS and 10 healthy pilots as control was evaluated using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Flicker Fusion Frequency Indicator, Many Reaction Time Tester, Space Place Memory Span Tester, Attention Instrument and Guard Tester. The correlation analyses were also performed between the ESS, AHI, MinSaO2% with the results of each cognitive test in the OSAHS group. Results Compared with the healthy control subjects, the scores of ESS in OSAHS group were significantly higher (P
