Rationale of the "BIO-OHS" study (Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome): The overall prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) has never been directly assessed in the general population. Actually, this prevalence has been assessed in patients referred to sleep clinics with a potential diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing or in patients already diagnosed with sleep apnea. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome in obese patients referred to clinical laboratories for regular follow-up medical analysis.

Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) in obese subjects referred to clinical laboratories for regular blood test analysis.
OHS prevalence, validated by arterial blood gases analysis, will be assessed by the percentage of patients with OHS among all patients included in the study
Time frame: From date of inclusion until the end of the study currently planned (up to 2 years)
Sensitivity and specificity of plasmatic [HCO3-] to detect OHS
A ROC curve will determine if the threshold of 27 mmol/L has the best diagnostic value. Decision trees will show if the diagnostic value of plasmatic \[HCO3-\]could be optimized by a combination with other clinical parameters.
Time frame: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)
Prevalence of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with OHS
Prevalence will be estimated by the percentage and the confidence interval. Prevalences of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities among patients with OHS and without OHS will be compared by a KHI-2 test or Fisher Exact depends on the theorical number.
Time frame: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)
To determine which medical specialties referred patients with OHS to clinical labs
estimated by percentage
Time frame: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)
Incidence of serious health events at 1 and 2-year follow-up
Cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory events (measured by percentages in OHS group and non-OHS group) will be compared by logistic regressions.
Time frame: From time of OHS diagnostic to 1 and 2-year follow-up
