Lin YC, Chen TY, Chien WC, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database to investigate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hospitalization for motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) injury. From 2000 to 2015, OSA patients aged ≥ 20 years were assessed and were matched by age, gender, and index-year to non-OSA controls (1:3). The OSA cohort (N = 3,025) exhibited a higher incidence rate of hospitalization for an MVA injury when compared with the non-OSA controls (N = 9,075), as 575.3 and 372.0 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. This suggests a two-fold higher risk of developing hospitalization for an MVA injury among patients with OSA. The usage of modafinil and methylphenidate was linked with a reduced risk of an overall hospitalization for the MVA injury.
