Objective: In this study, traffic accident with a history of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients with polysomnographic parameters was investigated. Methods: A total of 77 OSAS patients were included in the study. All-night polysomnographic recordings obtained from patients with enuresis parameters and the presence of traffic accidents recorded in standard form. Results: The mean age of patients was 45.15 ± 11.53 years. 53% of the patients were male and 47% female. The mean apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in patients was 13.54 events/h. History of traffic accidents was found in 12% patients. Apnea hypopnea index, supine AHI, arousal index and oxygen desaturation index were found significantly different parameters between history of traffic accidents group and non-history of traffic accidents group (p <0.05). Conclusion: In this study, patients with OSAS severity of the disease with a history of traffic accidents were associated the relationship between the parameters. This relationship with the severity of the disease might be due to the negative effects on attention.
