The likelihood of OSA, severe OSA and sleep hypoventilation increased with obesity class, while the presence of OHS did not differ between groups. In multivariate regression models including body mass index, neck circumference, age, sex, AHI, bicarbonate and expiratory reserve volume, bicarbonate and forced vital capacity were independent predictors of both sleep hypoventilation and OHS and neck circumference of severe OSA. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of bicarbonate for OHS and sleep hypoventilation was 0.92 and 0.72, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three quarter of obese patients have OSA, and the likelihood of OSA, severe OSA and sleep hypoventilation increase across obesity severity groups.
