Objective
[edit | edit source]

The Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) is a global index that may be used to rate the severity of a specific condition (a single-state scale).  It is a simple, direct, easy to use scale that is intuitively understandable to clinicians.[1]

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

The PGI-S was validated on women with stress urinary incontinence.  It has not been established to be applicable to men and women with other lower urinary tract symptoms or conditions.[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The PGI-S is a single question asking the patient to rate how their urinary tract condition is now on a scale of 1.  Normal to 4.  Severe.[1]
