Being considered mildly ill according to the CGI severity score approximately corresponded to a BPRS total score of 25, moderately ill to a BPRS of 33-35, markedly ill to a BPRS of 50 and severely ill to a BPRS of 70.

What is the interpretation of the BPRS scores?

The BPRS is a clinician-rated score of schizophrenia symptoms that is made up of 18 items in 5 domains.
