About this study

Official title: Establish and Validate Study of Standard Scale for Syndrome Differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome

An version of the standard scale for syndrome differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome is not available yet for Chinese medicine.

The aim of this study is to develop and validate the standard scale for syndrome differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome. The study is divided into two steps. The first step is to develop the standard scale for syndrome differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome through expert consultation (Delphi method). The second step is to apply the scale in the participants and find out the diagnostic cut-off value of the scale by comparing it with the gold standard.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Chinese participants with Yin Deficiency SyndromeThe participants with Yin Deficiency syndrome were included in this study. Chinese Medicine Experts evaluated the main symptoms of Yin Deficiency syndrome, diagnosed those participants. And the participants were measured by the standard scale for syndrome differentiation of Yin Deficiency syndrome. The participants were followed up for 12 months to observe whether there were any manifestations of Yin Deficiency syndrome during the observation period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the diagnostic cut-off value of scale

    find out the diagnostic cut-off value of the standard scale for syndrome differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Accuracy of the Standard Scale for Syndrome Differentiation of Yin Deficiency Syndrome

    By comparing the consistency between the scale diagnosis and expert diagnosis, the accuracy of the scale diagnosis of Yin deficiency syndrome was judged.

    Measured: 12 months
