The prevalence of OHS in our obese population was lower than previous estimations based on hospitalized patients or clinical cohorts with sleep breathing disorders. Apart from hypercapnia, increased [HCO3-v ] may also reflect multimorbidity and polypharmacy, which should be taken into account when using [HCO3-v ] to screen for OHS.
