Figure 2. Main diseases that can lead to AHRF in our population (n = 212). Each oval figure represents a disease; overlapping of figures indicates the presence of more than one disease. Areas in the figures represent the prevalence of the diseases. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CHF = congestive heart failure, OSA = obstructive sleep apnea, OHS = obesity-hypoventilation syndrome. Numbers in bold represent the total number in a given category.
