TL;DR
Reduced hypoxic drive or resting CO2 retention while awake can explain the severity of sleep-disordered breathing in this population is uncertain, but a reduced hypoxic ventilatory drive and resting CO2 retention are associated with sleep-disordered breathing in 6–12 year old children.
Abstract
In awake children the OAHI correlates inversely with the hypoxic ventilatory drive and positively with the resting PETCO2. Whether or not diminished hypoxic drive or resting CO2 retention while awake can explain the severity of sleep-disordered breathing in this population is uncertain, but a reduced hypoxic ventilatory drive and resting CO2 retention are associated with sleep-disordered breathing in 6-12 year old children.

The lower hypercapnic ventilatory response, higher waking PaCO2, and lower total lung capacity in the sleep apnea patients resemble the pattern observed in patients with pickwickian syndrome, which suggests that disturbances in pulmonary function and ventilatories control in moderately obese sleep Apnea patients are intermediate along a continuum from normal obesity to the pickwickians syndrome.

It is concluded that hypoxia causes a narrowing of the difference between the baseline PET,CO2 and the hypopnoea/apnoeic threshold PET, CO2, which could increase the likelihood of ventilatory instability.
