- Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is widely used in the clinical management of chronic hepatitis B in China and has exhibited certain advantages in alleviating symptoms， regulating overall physiological status， and assisting in the intervention against disease progression. However， there is still a lack of a comprehensive clinical efficacy evaluation system for TCM treatment of chronic hepatitis B， with inconsistencies in the selection of evaluation indicators and limited objectivity and standardization in the assessment of syndromes and symptoms， which have limited the systematic accumulation of evidence regarding TCM efficacy and the incorporation of TCM into clinical guidelines and expert consensus statements. This article systematically reviews the current status of research on the clinical efficacy evaluation of TCM for chronic hepatitis B and analyzes the achievements made in the field of TCM therapy and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for chronic liver diseases in China’s national major infectious disease research programs during the periods of the Eleventh to Thirteenth Five-Year Plans. It also points out related issues that remain to be addressed and proposes a conceptual framework and specific components for constructing a TCM clinical efficacy evaluation system from the perspectives of evaluation objectives， indicator composition， and application scenarios， in order to provide a reference for the development of related standards， clinical research， and the standardization of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment.
