    The dexamethasone suppression test and clinical decision making.

    McGee JP.

    Abstract

    Recent research has challenged the reliability and validity of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) as a specific laboratory diagnostic tool in psychiatry. This study investigated its effects on clinical decision making. Test results were found to have minimal impact on diagnostic and treatment decisions. This finding is discussed in light of other "negative" evidence regarding the DST.
