Abstract

Linking of the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was performed within a naturalistic sample. Furthermore, these linking results were compared with those derived from randomized controlled trials to examine if the baseline severity might influence the linking results.
