Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and distribution of Tranditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome types of refractory tic disorders in children based on clustering analysis.Methods:A cross-sectional study. 183 children aged 3-18 years with refractory tic disorders from pediatric encephalopathy outpatient department of the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine who met the inclusion criteria from October 2015 to January 2022 were recruited. Frequency descriptive analysis, systematic clustering analysis and principal component analysis were conducted by Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 to explore the clinical characteristics and syndrome distribution of the disease.Results:The TCM symptoms of 183 children with refractory tic disorders were clustered into 6 categories, and finally 5 types of syndrome were obtained, among which the syndrome of spleen deficiency and liver hyperactivity mixed with dampness accounted for the largest proportion (27.32%), followed by the syndrome of phlegm-fire disturbing spirit (21.31%), the syndrome of wind-heat invading lung (18.03%), the syndrome of phlegm-qi stagnation (17.49%), and the syndrome of dampness and yin deficiency (15.85%).Conclusion:Through the mining and analysis of the outpatient information of pediatric encephalopathy in our hospital, the common syndrome differentiation types of refractory tic disorder are obtained, which can provide a reference for the TCM syndrome differentiation types of refractory tic disorder in children.
