摘　　要：Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)is a common form of sleep breathing disorder characterized by apnea and hypopnea resulting from recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep.This leads to intermittent hypoxia in the brain and disruptions in sleep architecture,ultimately causing cognitive impairment.In OSAHS patients,cognitive dysfunction manifests mainly as diminished attention,memory,and executive function.These effects impact an individual’s daily and social abilities,significantly reducing their quality of life.This article primarily reviews four aspects of OSAHS patients’cognitive function,namely,characteristics,pathogenesis,assessment tools,influencing factors,and heterogeneity,to provide a theoretical basis for healthcare professionals to identify high-risk groups for cognitive impairment among OSAHS patients at an early stage and to construct a more objective and feasible intervention program to further prevent the occurrence and development of dementia.
