摘要: To assess the relative contributions of age, gender, obesity, pulmonary function, and severity sleep-induced respiratory abnormalities to development alveolar hypoventilation in patients with occlusive sleep apnea syndrome, prospective data from 111 were analyzed by stepwise logistic multiple regression techniques. The significant variables a model predicting presence hypercapnia daytime arterial oxygen pressure (PaO 2 ; p ) revealed contribution PaO , apnea-plus-hypopnea index (AHI), percent predicted forced vital capacity (r = O.56; related only. These results suggest that hypoxemia, mechanical impairment system due obesity or obstructive airway disease (or both), as assessed AHI contribute carbon dioxide retention multifactorial fashion.
