Of these, 107 patients (50.5% [43.8\u201357.1% CI 95%]) fulfilled diagnostic criteria for OSA, and the majority were men (79.4%). Among patients with OSA, 18 patients (16.8% [10.8\u201325.1% CI 95%]) fulfilled diagnostic criteria for OHS. In this group, women were more frequently affected than men (31.8% [7\/22] vs. 12.9% [11\/85], respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.03) and tended to be older than affected men, with a mean age of 55\u2009\u00b1\u200910.6 years versus 46\u2009\u00b1\u200913 for men. After adjustment for gender, OHS was significantly associated with hypertension (OR\u2009=\u20093.5; p\u2009=\u20090.03), diabetes mellitus (OR\u2009=\u20094.6; p\u2009=\u20090.02), ischaemic heart disease (OR\u2009=\u20095.1; p\u2009=\u20090.04) and pulmonary hypertension (OR\u2009=\u200916.1; p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OHS is a common condition in obese patients in the UAE and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities and diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2042533313510156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,2]],"date-time":"2013-12-02T22:11:38Z","timestamp":1386022298000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Obesity hypoventilation syndrome in obstructive sleep apnea patients in the           United Arab Emirates: a retrospective cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Ashraf","family":"Alzaabi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Respirology Division, Zayed Military Hospital,\r        Abu Dhabi, UAE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salahudeen","family":"Fizal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respirology Division, Zayed Military Hospital,\r        Abu Dhabi, UAE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafeek","family":"Moilothkandy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respirology Division, Zayed Military Hospital,\r        Abu Dhabi, UAE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bassam","family":"Mahboub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respirology Division, University of Sharjah,\r        Sharjah, UAE"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nico","family":"Nagelkerke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAE\r        University.
