This paper reviews the potential value in daily clinical practice of an easily applied research tool, the Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) Scale, for the nonresearcher clinician to quantify and track patient progress and treatment response over time.
The instrument is described and sample patient scenarios are provided with scoring rationales and a practical charting system.
The CGI severity and improvement scales offer a readily understood, practical measurement tool that can easily be administered by a clinician in a busy clinical practice setting.
本文回顾了一种易于应用的研究工具——临床总体印象(CGI)量表在日常临床实践中的潜在价值,该量表可供非研究人员临床医生用来量化并跟踪患者随时间推移的病情进展和治疗反应。
对该工具进行了描述,并提供了示例患者案例、评分依据以及实用的记录系统。
CGI严重程度和改善程度量表提供了一种易于理解的实用测量工具,临床医生在繁忙的临床实践环境中能够轻松使用。
