Abstract:
Propensity score can improve the efficiency and accuracy of clinical trials， and has been widely used in many fields such as comparison of efficacy evaluation， exploration of disease occurrence factors， and monitoring of adverse drug reactions. At present， the propensity scoe has application prospects in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） monotherapy intervention， complex intervention and integrated Chinese and Western medicine intervention research， and it is a good auxiliary tool for real-world study. By analysing the cha-racteristics of clinical research in TCM， the authors believed that， firstly， the application of propensity score can acce-lerate the progress of clinical efficacy evaluation research in TCM， contribute to the collection of high-level clinical evidence， and promote the development and promotion of TCM therapies； Secondly， under the background of big data resources， propensity score has good application prospects in assisting TCM prescription analysis， drug safety and adverse reaction monitoring， and large-scale cohort studies in TCM； thirdly， in the process of clinical practice， propensity scoring method may face problems such as inappropriate method selection， incorrect judgement or measurement of confounding factors， and unreasonable interpretation or extrapolation of results.
