Discussion

Pilot trial demonstrates changes in PaCO2 in obesity hypoventilation syndrome, indicating challenges in recruitment and adherence.

Change in PaCO2 was observed in both CPAP groups, highlighting potential efficacy and treatment viability.
Quality of life improvements were noted, but challenges in recruitment affected trial completion rates.
Participants with obesity hypoventilation syndrome were randomized to APAP or fCPAP over three months to assess non-inferiority.
Trial serves as a feasibility assessment; further research is needed to validate findings and enhance recruitment strategies.

Zheng et al. (2025) studied this question.
