Abstract

The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) was done in 53 psychiatric patients during at least two separate hospital admissions. The agreement between DST results on both admissions exceeded chance expectations: 69.8% of all patients and 72.3% of those with major depression had consistent DST results.
