Seventy panic disorder patients participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized infusion study in which sodium lactate and isoproterenol were used to induce panic anxiety. Patients who panicked during lactate, isoproterenol, and placebo infusions generally had higher preinfusion anxiety scores. These findings held true irrespective of the order the infusions were given. Stepwise multiple regression analyses comparing panickers with nonpanickers as the criterion variable revealed that the items "afraid of going crazy," "feeling unsteady," and "feeling paralyzed" on the Panic Description Scale had the highest predicting values.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
