  • Title: One-year follow-up of panic disorder. Outcome and prognostic factors.
    Author: Maier W, Buller R.
    Journal: Eur Arch Psychiatry Neurol Sci; 1988; 238(2):105-9. PubMed ID: 2905266.
    Abstract:
    A 1-year follow-up study was carried out in 77 patients with panic attacks (panic disorder). Of these patients 43% were remitted; avoidance behaviour and chronic anxiety were more persistent than panic attacks within the 1-year period. The main predictor for features of anxiety in the follow-up was avoidance behaviour. The most prominent prognostic factor for features of depression was the history of previous depressive episodes. Female patients had a poorer outcome than male patients.
