Table 4. Studies assessing CO2 sensitivity in RS subjects.

Study CO2 responders, n CO2 nonresponders, n RS among CO2 responders, n (%) RS among CO2 nonresponders, n (%) p-value
Nardi20 62 29 43 (69.3) 12 (41.4) 0.022
Nardi21 50 26 31 (62.0) 8 (30.8) 0.011

CO2 responders = subjects in whom CO2 induced a panic attack; RS = respiratory subtype.

All studies used the Briggs et al. criteria29 to define RS and double-breath 35% CO2 inhalation as the CO2 challenge test.
