Predictive value of the dexamethasone suppression test in mania
CD Godwin, LB Greenberg and S Shukla
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.
