 == Additional Info ==
-You can include ''Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (Pickwick syndrome)'' in admitting DX as one of the last/lowest priority admit codes to capture this problem even though it is not reason for admission.
+Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (Pickwick syndrome) is a subset of [[Sleep apnea, obstructive]], in which in addition to having apnea with episodes of [[Hypercapnia (hypercarbia)]] during sleep. These people also have hypercapnia while ''awake''.  As a result, these chronically hypercapnic patients generally have compensatory metabolic [[Alkalosis]] (i.e. high serum bicarbonate to counteract the effect of the high pCO2 on blood pH).
+*The diagnosis is generally made based on:
+** demonstrated sleep apnea,
+** [[Obesity, NOS (BMI 30.0 to 39.9)]] or [[Obesity, morbid (severe, BMI gte 40)]],
+** and daytime hypercapnia not explained by other disorders (e.g. severe COPD).

-== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead ==
+While we did not allow sleep apnea as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] in the old codes, this code will be allowed.
