lymphocyte percentage(LY%)
neutrophil count(NEUT)
neutrophil percentage(NEUT%)
C-reactive protein(CRP)
creatine kinase(CK)
creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)
lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and other laboratory tests and chest imaging examination. It is believed that the above indicators can be used as evaluation indicators of the efficacy of TCM in the treatment of COVID-19. Conclusion Curative effects evaluation scale of TCM in the treatment of COVID-19 was designed and completed
