Current state of outcomes used in randomized controlled trials of traditional Chinese medicine for sub-optimal health
To evaluate the outcomes used in randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in the intervention of sub-optimal health.
Methods
2
We searched RCTs of TCM in the intervention of sub-optimal health in the databases of CNKI
WanFang Data
CBM
VIP and PubMed from establishment time to July 28
2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria
two researchers independently screened all the records
extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias for the included trials by the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool. Qualitative description and frequency analysis were conducted to describe the outcomes of the included studies.
Results
2
A total of 7
338 papers were searched and screened. Three hundred and fifty-one papers were included in the final analysis. Outcomes used in these 351 studies were mainly divided into seven categories. In terms of frequency
clinical efficacy indicators came the first(233 times)
followed by Quality of life scale (204 times)
clinical symptoms and signs indicators (84 times)
blood biochemistry panel (42 times)
TCM syndrome score indicators (36 times)
safety profiles (54 times) and other parameters (31 times).The main problems in the outcomes used in RCTs of TCM in the intervention of sub-optimal health were as follows: lack of comprehensiveness of outcome indicators
lack of standardization of reference basis and measurement methods
importance attached to qualitative indicators rather than to quantitative selection
and lack of recognition and universality.
Conclusions
2
This study evaluated the outcomes used in RCTs of TCM in the intervention of sub-optimal health
so as to lay a foundation for constructing the core indicator set of sub-optimal health.
