TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Does dexamethason suppression test predict completed suicide? JO - European journal of psychiatry A1 - Modestin, J. A1 - Bangerter, W. SP - 243 EP - 246 VL - 13 IS - 4 N2 - A total of 51 depressed inpatients were followed-up 12 years later. Seven (14%) of them committed suicide. All 4 men were originally DST nonsuppressors, whereas 2 of 3 women were suppressors; however, they both died more than 8 years after the original investigation. The result supports the notion that DST nonsuppression is even in the longer term associated with completed suicide in men.
