A new simple test for the screening of pre-, mid- and post-menopausal women with unidentified complaints overlaid by psychiatric disorders has been devised. This test is performed by intravenous injection of conjugated estrogen and by comparing Kupperman's menopausal indices before and after the injection. That is, the discriminant function between groups with and without psychiatric abnormalities was obtained from Kupperman's menopausal indices before and after intravenous injection of conjugated estrogen, and from this function was made a calculative differential diagnosis between the two groups. The calculative diagnosis agreed fairly well with the clinical diagnosis by the psychiatrist.
已设计出一种新的简易测试方法，用于筛查患有不明原因且叠加有精神障碍的绝经前、绝经中和绝经后女性。该测试通过静脉注射结合雌激素，并比较注射前后的库珀曼绝经指数来进行。也就是说，通过静脉注射结合雌激素前后的库珀曼绝经指数，得出有精神异常和无精神异常两组之间的判别函数，并据此对两组进行计算性鉴别诊断。计算性诊断与精神科医生的临床诊断相当吻合。
