Our results underscore the importance of referring patients with OSA for a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment when an abnormal cognitive decline is suspected.Citation:Gagnon K, Baril AA, Montplaisir J, Carrier J, De Beaumont L, D'Aragon C, Chami S, Pelleieux S, Poirier J, Gauthier S, Lafond C, Gagnon JF, Gosselin N.
