Abstract | Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is associated with many comorbidities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between previous continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and the prevalence of comorbidities in OHS associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We performed a retrospective, single-center study at the University Hospital of Martinique, the referral hospital for the island of Martinique. A total of 97 patients with OHS associated with severe OSA on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) were included; 54 patients (56%) had previous treatment of OSA with a positive airway pressure (PAP) device before shifting to NIV (PAP group) and 43 (44%) had no previous treatment of OSA with a PAP device before initiating NIV PAP (no PAP group). Sociodemographic characteristics were similar between groups; there were 40 women (74%) in the PAP group versus 34 (79%) in the no PAP group, mean age at OHS diagnosis was 66 ± 15 versus 67 ± 16 years, respectively, and the mean age at inclusion 72 ± 14 versus 71 ± 15 years, respectively. The average number of comorbidities was 4 ± 1 in the PAP group versus 4 ± 2 in the no PAP group; the mean Charlson index was 5 ± 2 in both groups. The mean BMI was 42 ± 8 kg/m |
