What Does CGI Stand For?
CGI stands for Clinical Global Impression
The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) is a standardized clinical assessment tool used in psychiatric research and practice to evaluate a patient's overall condition and treatment responsiveness. It consists of a series of items that assess the severity of illness, changes in the patient's condition over time, and the efficacy of treatment, providing a global rating based on the clinician's judgment. The CGI helps clinicians and researchers quantify treatment effects and facilitate communication about patient progress.
