摘要：

The diagnostic value of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) in endogenous depression was studied in 209 psychiatric inpatients. A high incidence of abnormal DST results was observed in endogenous depressives (52%), schizo-affective (69%) and borderline patients (38%). Of the patients with other psychiatric disease, 25% also failed to suppress on the DST. Diagnostic criteria, previous history of alcoholism, psychiatric drug treatment, age and sex did not significantly affect DST performance. Apparently, DST does not represent a highly specific marker of endogenous depression.
