This clinical study explored the use of the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF Scale) in a day hospital setting. In general, the GAF Scale was found to be of use in categorizing patients and in detecting change from admission to discharge. However, changes in GAF Scale scores may lack clinical significance, and moreover, there was little evidence of concurrent validity. Implications for the use of the GAF Scale in day hospitals were discussed.
这项临床研究探讨了在日间医院环境中使用功能总体评定量表（GAF量表）的情况。总体而言，发现GAF量表在对患者进行分类以及检测从入院到出院的变化方面有用。然而，GAF量表评分的变化可能缺乏临床意义，此外，几乎没有同时效度的证据。文中讨论了在日间医院使用GAF量表的意义。
