We also sought to explore the potential contribution of cognitive variables to help differentiate between PD and PD + MDD. This was a subgroup analysis of 331 patients with PD symptoms who were included in the PsicAP clinical trial. All participants completed scales to evaluate panic, depression, somatization, cognitive and performance variables. A univariate analysis showed significant differences (p < .01) between the groups (PD vs PD + MDD) in clinical variables. Somatization was the best predictor of comorbid PD + MDD (β = .346; p < .01). Cognitive variables do not appear to play an essential role in predicting the presence of depressive symptoms in people with a screen positive for PD. These findings appear to support a transdiagnostic treatment approach for PD, which may be useful regardless of whether comorbid depression is present or not. metadata Barrio‐Martínez, Sara; Cano‐Vindel, Antonio; Muñoz‐Navarro, Roger; Moriana, Juan Antonio; Ruíz‐Rodríguez, Paloma; Medrano, Leonardo Adrián; Ventura, Ludovica y González‐Blanch, César mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, cesar.gonzalezblanch@uneatlantico.es (2021) Factors differentiating panic disorder with and without comorbid symptoms of depression.
