Abstract:
Syndrome differentiation and treatment is a unique mode of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The establishment of scientific and standardized syndrome diagnosis standards is an important link to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TCM objectively and systematically, and also a prerequisite for the promotion and development of TCM to obtain international recognition. This article reviewed the basic modes and existed problems of the current syndrome diagnosis criteria, and proposed to construct a multidimensional core information set integrating the minimized core symptoms, the artificial intelligence signs, the multi-modal laboratory indicators, and multi-omics specific markers, so as to present syndrome characteristics from multiple perspectives systematically. This paper also described the basic mode, constructure, as well as the process and methodology to be adopted in the establishment of the standardized diagnostic research method. The core information set of diagnostic symptoms not only took into account the specificity of the disease, but also improved the inconsistency due to the complexity and subjectivity of the syndrome differentiation, thereby providing a methodological basis for the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation in clinical research.
