The authors' goal was to determine the rate of comorbid panic disorder in individuals with bipolar disorder.
They used the Epidemiologic Catchment Area survey database to determine the prevalence of comorbid panic disorder in individuals with unipolar depression, those with bipolar disorder, and comparison subjects without bipolar or unipolar disorder.
The lifetime prevalence of panic disorder among subjects with bipolar disorder was 20.8%; among subjects with unipolar depression it was 10.0%, and among comparison subjects it was 0.8%.
Individuals with bipolar disorder have a particularly high risk of comorbid panic disorder. The evaluation of patients with bipolar disorder should include screening for panic disorder.
作者的目标是确定双相情感障碍患者中共病惊恐障碍的发生率。
他们使用了流行病学集水区调查数据库，以确定单相抑郁症患者、双相情感障碍患者以及无双相或单相情感障碍的对照受试者中共病惊恐障碍的患病率。
双相情感障碍患者中惊恐障碍的终生患病率为20.8%；单相抑郁症患者中为10.0%，对照受试者中为0.8%。
双相情感障碍患者共病惊恐障碍的风险特别高。对双相情感障碍患者的评估应包括惊恐障碍的筛查。
