| To conduct a retrospective study on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) for the exploration of the relationship between the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndromes and related factors.Methods:The medical records of the level A tertiary TCM hospitals from the Information Statistics Center of the Hunan Provincial Health Commission were screened out and analyzed,and finally 898 patients were selected as the research subjects for the retrospective analysis.The TCM syndromes were investigated and their relationship with age,gender,and laboratory indicators were analyzed.Results:Among the 898 T2DM patients,the most common syndrome was liver and kidney yin deficiency,and the top comorbidities in T2DM patients were cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.In terms of age and gender,there were differences in the distribution of T2DM patients with different TCM syndromes(P<0.05).In terms of laboratory indicators,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),triacylglycerols(TAG),blood creatinine(Cr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(GOT),mean platelet volume(MPV),and fibrinogen(FIB) in different syndromes were significantly different(P<0.05),but the other indicators were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:Gender,age,and laboratory indicators can reflect the difference in TCM syndromes of T2DM to a certain extent.For the treatment of T2DM,the level of the above indicators should be determined in time,and the corresponding syndrome should be identified.Targeted treatment based on syndrome differentiation or integrated TCM and western medicine should be launched to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and various complications in the middle and late stages of the disease,and to improve the quality of life of patients. |
