These findings suggest residual EDS represents a cognitive risk phenotype in OSA, independent of PAP adherence. PVT provides a brief, objective tool to detect cognitive deficits and may serve as a valuable measure in OSA related brain health research. Current Knowledge/Study Rationale In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), residual excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) can persist despite regular adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. EDS is associated with cognitive decline and dementia risk, yet few studies have evaluated objective sleepiness and cognitive outcomes in this population. Study Impact This study shows that residual EDS, objectively measured by the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), is associated with worse cognition in PAP-adherent people with OSA. These findings highlight a distinct cognitive risk phenotype in treated OSA and support the PVT as a practical tool for detecting cognitive deficits in clinical and research settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":50233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13087004/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147700576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
