Motor vehicle accidents in CPAP-compliant obstructive sleep apnea patients-a long-term observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: The MVA incidence did not change after CPAP treatment. Among the patients who had MVA, BMI was the only baseline characteristic that differed between the groups and tended to further increase after CPAP treatment. Differences in sleep study data or accident conditions were not observed.
