{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical data of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea overlap syndrome (OS) during hospitalization and to evaluate the risk factors of patients treated with Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Demographic and clinical data of patients with confirmed OS during hospitalization were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether noninvasive ventilator was used during hospitalization, including OS treated with NIV (244 cases) and OS without NIV (239 cases). The t-test, χ 2 test, and Kaplan-Meier curve were used to compare the two groups, and multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of NIV in patients with OS.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Compared with the OS group without NIV, the pulmonary hypertension, lymphocyte count, and left ventricular ejection fraction% of OS patients with NIV were lower, whereas PCO2, uric acid, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were higher, with statistical differences (P < 0.05). During hospitalization and follow-up, OS patients with NIV had a longer hospital stay (P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in the rate of readmission within 28 days. The logistic regression analysis showed that the history of diuretic use, previous history of noninvasive ventilator use, and ischemic heart disease were independent risk factors for NIV treatment in OS patients during hospitalization.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Patients with OS undergoing NIV during hospitalization exhibited more severe overall illness and had prolonged hospital stays compared to OS patients not receiving NIV. History of diuretic use, history of NIV use, and ischemic heart disease are independent risk factors for NIV treatment in OS patients during hospitalization.
