摘要
Background: The dexamethasone suppression test (DST), which measures HPA-axis functioning, is a potential biomarker for suicidal behavior. The current study aimed (a) to synthesize available knowledge on the association between DST non-suppression and suicidal behavior, and (b) to study potential moderators. Methods: A total of 4236 studies were screened, 43 were included. Suicide attempts and suicide completion were studied separately. The meta-analysis included 37 effect sizes for suicide attempts (n = 3733) and 11 effect sizes for suicide completion (n = 1626). Results: DST non-suppression was associated with completed suicide (odds ratio (OR) = 2.10, (95 % CI [1.37, 3.23]). For suicide attempts, we found no evidence that DST status was associated in the overall meta-analysis including all patient samples. However, moderator analysis indicated that the DST status was associated with suicide attempts in patient samples that included psychopathology other than just mood disorders, such as psychotic, substance use and personality disorders (OR = 2.34, 95 % CI [1.39-3.93], k = 11). Limitations: The potential influence of publication bias and exclusion of some relevant published studies (since effect sizes could not be calculated, authors could not supply data or authors could not be reached) are limitations. Furthermore, missing moderator data decreased our ability to explain heterogeneity between studies. Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis support the hypothesis that DST non-suppression is predictive of suicidal behavior. More research is needed to investigate optimal cut-off values, confounding factors and the potential usefulness of the DST in clinical practice in terms of personalized medicine.
