Abstract:
Objective To study general law of typing according to syndrome differentiation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Method Based on large sample prospective Clinical Epidemiology investigation, symptoms, conditions of tongue, pulse according to TCM and pulmonary function, quality of life in 616 patients of COPD were collected. By means of Frequencies procedure, factor analysis, cluster analysis and analysis of variance in SPSS11.5, analyze the investigated data and lay difficient types of syndrome of COPD according to TCM. Meanwhile, explored distinct distribution and the relation between types of syndrome and pulmonary function, quality of life in patient5 with COPD. Result There were six types according to syndrome differentiation of COPD, deficiency of lung-qi, pathogenic wind-cold attacking lung, deficiency of pulmonosplenic both vital energy and yin, yin-deficiency of the lung and kidney, stagnation of phlegm and pathogenic fluid-reteneion in lung following splenic asthenia and stagnation of liver-qi, blood stasis-phlegm following deficiency of heart-yang and kidney-yang. There were multiple types of syndrome in COPD patients, the relation was detected between each type of syndrome and lung function, quality of life. Conclusion To draw assistance from clinical epidemiology and mathematical statistics method, the initial standard of differentiation of symptoms and signs to COPD was layed. The regularity of types of syndrome to COPD was detected. The result could be used in diagnosis of COPD, and the method could be communicated in the standardization research of syndrome differentiation.
