EXPLAINING HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION FOR PANIC ATTACKS USING CUSP CATASTROPHE MODELING David Katerndahl, M.D.,M.A. University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, Texas

2 PROBLEM Panic Disorder Patients High Utilizers
Often Multiple Sites For Panic Symptoms Correlates Of Utilization Predisposition To Utilization Symptom Perceptions Family Utilization Prior Experience With Health Care Stressors General Stress Symptom Severity Phobic Avoidance Problems High Unmet Needs Inconsistent Findings Variance Accounted Is Low Is Utilization A Nonlinear Phenomenon?

3 CUSP CATASTROPHE MODELING
Characteristics Bimodal Distributions Of Outcome Depending On Stressor Behavior Jumps At Different Levels Of Predisposition At High Stress, Certain Outcome Values Not Observed Features Of Predisposition-Outcome Relationship Low Stress Environment – Linear Relationship High Stress Environment – Sudden Jumps Prior Applications Adolescent Smoking And Drinking Decision-Making Perceptions Attitudinal Change Eating Behavior

4 CUSP CATASTROPHE MODELING

5 PURPOSE To Compare The Fit Of Linear And Cusp Catastrophe Models To Explain Changes In Health Care Utilization For Panic Symptoms

6 METHODS Sample – Secondary Analysis (PACT Study) Instruments
Community-Based Randomly-Selected Households Randomly-Selected Adults DSM-IIIR Criteria For Panic Attacks (SCID) Instruments Stressor Variable – Severity Of Panic Phobic Anxiety Scale - Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) Predisposing Variables Total Family HC Use - Family Health Care Utilization Questionnaire Symptom Perception Scales Need For Treatment Life Threat Treatment Experience Scale - Illness Attitude Scales Outcomes - Health Care Utilization Questionnaire 2-Month Utilization When First Seeking Care & Last 2 Months Health Care Sites & Self-Treatments Used For Panic Symptoms

7 ANALYSIS Outcomes = Number Of Sites/TXs Used For Panic Symptoms
Emergency Sites/Providers General Health Sites/Providers Mental Health Sites/Providers Total Health Care Sites/Providers Self-Treatments Analysis Bimodality At High Stress Comparison Of Models – Using Z-Transformations Linear Models Cusp Catastrophe Model Criteria For Cusp Catastrophe Acceptance Bimodality Adjusted R2 Superior To Linear Models All Terms In Cusp Model Significant (p≤0.1)

13 DISCUSSION Cusp Catastrophe Models Superior
Mental Health Sites/Providers Use Use of Self Treatments Emergency Sites/Providers Use May Be Cusp Catastrophe Phenomenon Model May Be Incomplete Implications For High Stress Situations Panic Patients Will Maintain Their Behavior Change Only Comes When: They Realize Panic Will Not Resolve Itself They Realize That It Is No Longer Reasonable Not To Change Prior Treatment Experience With HC System Critical Reducing Phobic Avoidance May Increase Predictability Of Use

14 LIMITATIONS Care-Seeking Behavior Sample Predominantly
Based On Recall Number Of Sites, Not Number Of Visits Sample Predominantly Hispanic Low SES Multiple Comparisons Used

15 CONCLUSION Cusp Catastrophe Modeling May Better Reflect Health Care Utilization Than Linear Models Implications For Dealing With Patients With Panic Attacks Prior Treatment Experience Important Treating Phobic Avoidance May Improve Predictability Educate Patients Panic Attacks Rarely Resolve On Their Own Unreasonable To Maintain Inappropriate Behavior

Expecting the worst often leads to poor outcomes. This process is particularly true in close relationships, as those who are most sensitive to rejection.
