“…The TCM syndrome factor differentiation method, which determines the location and nature of the diseases through the identification of syndromes factors (symptoms and signs and other clinical information), was proposed. This method is less subjective and more practical [ 25 ] and is gradually applied to the study of TCM syndromes [ 26 ]. Meanwhile, TCM syndrome type was difficult to evaluate and determine in critically ill patients because of the complex conditions, and there are no recommendations clearly on the identification of TCM syndromes in critically ill patients.…”

Background. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation under the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) framework has been shown to be helpful in patients with coronary artery disease. We hypothesized that syndrome types could predict the risk of type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) caused by imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand in critically ill patients with pulmonary disease. Methods. This retrospective study included consecutive critically ill patients with pulmonary disease admitted to the ICU at Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from January 1, 2017, to July 1, 2019. Diagnosis of T2MI was based on the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction. Risk factors associated with T2MI were identified using multivariate regression analysis. Results. A total of 244 patients were included in the study: 78 who developed T2MI and the remaining 166 who did not develop T2MI during hospitalization. The incidence of phlegm syndrome and deficiency syndrome was 61.9% and 38.1%, respectively. In comparison with the patients with phlegm syndrome, the incidence of T2MI in patients with deficiency syndrome is significantly higher (40.9% vs. 26.5%, P = 0.019 ). In multivariate logistic regression, T2MI was independently associated with the baseline troponin level (OR 12.682, 95% CI 1.397∼115.121; P = 0.024 ), hemoglobin < 55 g/L (OR 12.76, 95% CI 2.359∼69.021; P = 0.003 ), mechanical ventilation (OR 2.244, 95% CI 1.029∼4.892; P = 0.042 ), and TCM deficiency syndrome (OR 2.214, 95% CI 1.032∼4.749; P = 0.041 ). After adjusting for confounding factors in Cox regression models, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of qi deficiency syndrome groups was 1.183 (95% CI 1.053∼3.123, P = 0.032 ). Conclusions. Patients with deficiency syndrome are at high risk of T2MI, especially those combined with qi deficiency syndrome.

“…inspection, auscultation, olfaction, inquiry and palpation) are usually used for syndrome differentiation (Wen et al, 2018). TCM patterns are comprised of yin–yang, deficiency–excess, cold–heat, six stages of acute febrile diseases and Qi, blood and fluids (Yan et al, 2018). Because of the overlap in origin and evolution of Chinese, Korean and Japanese TM practices, we have not examined the basic principles of these systems individually.…”

Background: Classification of disease and interventions in traditional medicine (TM) is necessary for standardised coding of information. Currently, in Iran, there is no standard electronic classification system for disease and interventions in TM. Objective: The current study aimed to develop a national framework for the classification of disease and intervention in Persian medicine based on expert opinion. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018. The existing systems for the classification of disease and interventions in TM were reviewed in detail, and some of the structural and content characteristics were extracted for the development of the classification of Iranian traditional medicine. Based on these features, a self-administered questionnaire was developed. Study participants (25) were experts in the field of Persian medicine and health information management in Tehran medical universities. Results: Main axes for the classification of disease and interventions were determined. The most important applications of the classification system were related to clinical coding, policymaking, reporting of mortality and morbidity data, cost analysis and determining the quality indicators. Half of the participants (50%) stated that the classification system should be designed by maintaining the main axis of the World Health Organization classification system and changing the subgroups if necessary. A computer-assisted coding system for TM was proposed for the current study. Conclusion: Development of this classification system will provide nationally comparable data that can be widely used by governments, national organisations and academic researchers.
