摘要:
In this study, the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and 2 rating scales, the ‘Echelle d’Evaluation de Risque Suicidaire’ and the Pierce modified form of the Suicide Intent Scale, were administered to a group of 37 subjects admitted to the general hospital of Padua for suicide attempts. The purpose of our study was to verify if these tools could be considered useful in assessing the severity of the attempts. 10 subjects were DST-positive, but the test evidenced very low sensitivity and predictive value. The 2 rating scales demonstrated a good degree of concordance in identifying the adjustment disorder group as being at a lower risk for a serious attempt.
