Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types of functional dyspepsia (FD) in Guangzhou, and to explore their correlation with some factors such as residence time in Guangzhou, gender, age, and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. Methods A total of 326 cases of FD patients from Guangzhou were investigated. Database of the related clinical data was built and analyzed. Results The commonly-seen TCM syndrome types of FD patients in Guangzhou were spleen-deficiency and qi stagnation, disharmony of liver and stomach, dampness-heat of spleen and stomach, deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach, and concurrence of cold and heat, accounting for 41.71%, 26.07%, 11.96%, 11.04% and 9.20%, respectively. There were significant differences among the TCM syndromes(P < 0.05). The differences of average age of onset, residence time in Guangzhou, FD subtypes and Hp infection were significant among each syndrome type (P < 0.05).
