Mediation model of T1 PD severity predicting T3 executive function via T2 inflammation

	β (s.e.)
Regression slopes: all samples
T1 PD severity → T3 executive function	−0.39** (0.15)
T1 PD severity → T2 inflammation	0.01 (0.02)
T2 inflammation → T3 executive function	−2.65*** (0.53)
T1 PD severity → T2 inflammation → T3 executive function	−0.02 (0.04)

CFI, confirmatory fit index; β, unstandardized regression weight estimate; PD, panic disorder; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation; s.e., standard error

Model fit indices: χ²(25) = 42.44, p = .016, CFI = .98, RMSEA = .036.
