Overview

Supports integrated weight reduction, CPAP/NIV, and rehabilitation for OHS; leaves open optimal protocols for future trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) characterized by obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), daytime hypercapnia (PaCO2 ≥ 45 mm Hg), and sleep-disordered breathing
E
Exposure
Holistic approach focusing on weight reduction, lifestyle modification, treatment of comorbidities, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV), and pulmonary rehabilitation

Management of obesity hypoventilation syndrome requires a holistic approach including weight reduction, CPAP or NIV, and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve prognosis and prevent cardiorespiratory morbidity.
