Objective To construct the core outcome set(COS)for clinical research on Uyghur medicine in treating psoriasis by using internationally-recognized research methods,thus to aid the researchers in choosing the standardized outcomes and to enhance the quality of evidence from research findings.Methods A systematic retrieval of Chinese and English databases was conducted to collect outcomes from clinical studies,systematic reviews,and registered protocols of Uyghur medicine for treating psoriasis.An outcome pool was constructed based on the results of literature review.The outcomes were supplemented after qualitative surveys of patients and physicians,and then an initial list of outcomes was formed.Two rounds of Delphi surveys on the initial list were conducted for obtaining Likert scale ratings from different stakeholder groups to evaluate the importance of outcomes.After that,a consensus meeting was held to finalize the COS for clinical research on Uyghur medicine in treating psoriasis.Results The COS for clinical research on Uyghur medicine in treating psoriasis comprises six domains,totaling 14 outcomes.The 14 outcomes were psoriasis symptoms(psoriasis area and area severity index),skin manifestations(erythema,scaling,infiltration,etc.),investigator global assessment,patient global assessment,treatment satisfaction,health-related quality of life,recurrence rate,adverse events,drug adverse reactions,blood routine,urine routine,liver and kidney function,Uyghur medicine symptom assessment,and fluid changes.Conclusion The COS for clinical research on Uyghur medicine in treating psoriasis has been constructed,and will provide a reference for the selection of efficacy-evaluation outcomes and for the reporting of outcomes in related studies.

Objective To develop a core outcome set(COS)for treatment of progressive vitiligo in Uyghur medicine,and to standardize the selection and reporting of outcome measures in relevant studies.Methods Based on the existing core outcome domain set of randomized controlled trials for vitiligo,additional outcome indicators reflecting the advantages and characteristics of Uyghur medical treatment were developed.Specific indicators for Uyghur medical treatment of progressive vitiligo were collected through literature review and semi-structured questionnaire surveys,and then a list of indicators were formed.The Delphi survey and consensus meetings were used to select core indicators.Results A total of 54 studies were included,and 86 questionnaires were collected.Through literature review and questionnaire surveys,a list of 28 indicators were obtained.After two rounds of Delphi survey and one consensus meeting,12 outcome indicators in 7 domains were finally determined,including vitiligo lesion area,repigmentation,disease control time,maintenance of repigmentation,recurrence rate,immune indicators,psychological health,patients' quality of life,adverse events,adverse reaction incidence,liver and kidney function monitoring,and Uyghur medicine syndrome differentiation of mucus.Additionally,some measurement tools for certain indicators were recommended.Conclusion The development of the COS for vitiligo treatment in Uyghur medicine helps to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of Uyghur medicine,and will provide a model for establishing efficacy evaluation methods that conform to the characteristics of ethnic minority medicine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status and development needs of evidence-based medicine （EBM） capability in ethnic minority medicine， and explore effective strategies to enhance EBM capability in this field. MethodsThe questionnaire survey was conducted in various ethnic minority medical institutions and research organisations. The questionnaire covered three dimensions， firstly， perceptions and attitudes towards evidence-based medicine； secondly， advantages and challenges in the development of ethnic minority medicine； thirdly， demands and recommendations for enhancing evidence-based medicine capability in ethnic minority medicine. ResultsA total of 501 valid questionnaires were collected， of which 103 questionnaires were collected by re-sending to minority medicine regions with insufficient participation. The questionnaires included 354 responses （70.66%） from practitioners of minority medicine， including Tibetan medicine， Mongolian medicine， Uyghur medicine， Zhuang medicine， and Korean medicine. Among the 501 questionnaires， 146 respondents （29.14%） indicated that they knew about EBM， 355 respondents （70.86%） had either a "general understanding" or had "not heard about" EBM before， and 469 respondents （93.61%） believed that introducing ECM could promote the development of ethnic minority medicine. The primary challenge in promoting EBM in the field of ethnic minority medicine is the lack of professionals in EBM and a lack of understanding of how to apply it into clinical practice （442 respondents， 88.22%）. In the 9-point importance rating for enhancing evidence-based abilities， high scores were achieved in standardization of clinical practice guidelines （7.50±1.90） and methods for sample sizes in clinical research （7.45±1.90）. Regarding the demand for improving clinical research literacy， expert academic lectures， and experience sharing （404 respondents， 80.64%） and evidence-based methodology monographs on ethnic minority medicine （401 respondents， 80.04%） were emphasized. ConclusionsPractitioners in ethnic minority medicine hold a positive attitude towards integrating EBM. However， there remains substantial room for the education and dissemination of EBM. Enhancing evidence-based capabilities can be achieved through specific measures such as cultivating or recruiting talents in EBM， establishing evidence-based support platforms for clinical research， organizing regular academic lectures and exchanges， and strengthening the construction of theoretical frameworks and evaluation systems tailored to ethnic minority medicine， thereby following a path of evidence-based practices aligned with the unique characteristics of ethnic minority medicine.
