Abstract:
ObjectiveTo build an evaluation index system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medicated diet, promoting the scientific and standardized development of medicated diet in TCM. MethodsThe framework of the evaluation index system was constructed through literature review and Delphi expert consultation method. The analytic hierarchy process was used to construct a hierarchical structure model. Pairwise comparisons between the indicators were conducted using the Saaty 1-9 scale method, and the weight of each indicator was calculated using Yaahp 10.3. ResultsThe response rates for the two rounds of expert consultation were 93.33% and 100%, respectively. The Kendall's W coefficients for the first-level and second-level indicators in the second round were 0.270 and 0.281, respectively (both P<0.001). Finally, an evaluation index system for TCM medicated diet therapy was constructed, consisting of 6 primary indicators and 27 secondary indicators. The weightings of the primary indicators were as follows: sensory appearance (0.1843), health value (0.3569), ingredient compatibility (0.1271), packaging (0.0370), production and preparation (0.1005), and reliability (0.1940). ConclusionA comprehensive and universally applicable evaluation index system for TCM medicated diet has been developed, taking into conside-rations of color, taste, appearance, efficacy, preparation, quality and others. This system can provide valuable reference for the evaluation of the value of medicated diet as well as its development.
