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.
18名入院时地塞米松抑制试验结果异常的躁狂患者在出院前（临床症状稳定时）再次接受检测。转为正常抑制预示出院后预后良好，而持续异常的检测结果则预示预后不良。
