Predictive value of the dexamethasone suppression test in mania
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|December 1, 1984
Abstract:
Eighteen manic patients who had abnormal results on the dexamethasone suppression test at admission were retested before discharge, when they were clinically stable. Conversion to normal suppression predicted good outcome after discharge, whereas a persistently abnormal test predicted poor outcome.
