SummaryObjective. Gender differences in clinical presentation and response to sertraline treatment were examined for patients diagnosed with DSM-III-R panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. Method. Data was pooled from 4 double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient studies (males, N = 335; females, N = 338). Two were 12-week fixed-dose studies (sertraline 50 mg vs. 100 mg vs. 200 mg) and 2 were 10-week flexible-dose studies (sertraline 50–200 mg). Primary outcome measures consisted of the…

[Gender differences in psychopathologic features of agoraphobia with panic disorder].
TLDR
The women, howerer, reported a subjective perception of a more severe agoraphobic avoidance and males were significantly more likely than the females to anticipate the serious somatic consequences of panic attacks and worry about somatic health.
Panic disorder, agoraphobia, comorbidity
TLDR
Nearly half of the PD patients had major depression, while in patients with comorbid agoraphobia, prevalence ofComorbid disorders, particularly of SAD, was shown to increase and rates for generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder were found to be lower than groups in similar literature.

Characteristics and Comorbidity in Panic Disorder Patients
TLDR
Nearly half of the PD patients had major depression, while in patients with comorbid Axis I psychiatric disorder, the rate of major depression was compatible with the literature, while comorebidity rates for generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder were found to be lower than the groups in similar literature.

Title Gender-specific abnormalities in the serotonin transportersystem in panic disorder
TLDR
The finding that 5-HTT-binding is elevated in males but not in females with PD converges with other evidence suggesting that dysfunction within the central serotonergic system exists in PD, and indicates that such abnormalities are influenced by gender.

Sertraline treatment of panic disorder: response in patients at risk for poor outcome.
TLDR
Treatment of panic disorder with sertraline was generally effective, even in the presence of baseline clinical variables that have been associated with poor treatment response.
Sertraline in the treatment of panic disorder: a flexible-dose multicenter trial.
TLDR
Results support the safety and efficacy of sertraline for the short-term treatment of patients with panic disorder.
Sertraline in the treatment of panic disorder
TLDR
Sertraline was effective and safe in reducing panic attacks and dry mouth and ejaculation failure (primarily ejaculation delay) were associated significantly with sERTraline.
Sertraline in the treatment of panic disorder: a double-blind multicenter trial.
TLDR
Sertraline is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients with panic disorder and had significantly more improvement than placebo in scores on the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire and Clinical Global Impression severity of illness and global improvement scales.
The efficacy of sertraline in panic disorder: combined results from two fixed‐dose studies
TLDR
Sertraline was well‐tolerated at all dose levels, with no significant between‐dose differences in patients discontinuing due to adverse events, and the presence of mild‐to‐moderate subsyndromic levels of depression did not reduce the anti‐panic efficacy of sertralines.
Is the course of panic disorder the same in women and men?
TLDR
It is shown that not only are women more likely to have panic with concurrent agoraphobia, but they are more likely than men to suffer a recurrence of panic symptoms after remission of panic.
Double-blind, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled study of paroxetine in the treatment of panic disorder.
TLDR
The minimum dose demonstrated to be significantly superior to placebo was 40 mg/day, although some patients did respond at lower doses, and paroxetine is an effective and well-tolerated short-term treatment of panic disorder.
A comparison of paroxetine, clomipramine and placebo in the treatment of panic disorder
TLDR
Paroxetine produced significant improvements compared with placebo in various measurements of panic attack frequency, and was as effective as clomipramine, but appeared to have a more rapid onset of action than clomIPramine in reducing the number of panic attacks to zero.

Outcome of panic disorder. Relationship to diagnostic subtypes and comorbidity.
TLDR
It is shown that while panic disorder has a favorable outcome, the illness is a chronic one that may require continuing treatment and that subtypes and comorbid disturbances are important predictors of outcome.
