Consturuction of Diagnostic Criteria and the Diagnostic Thresholds for Intense Fire-heat(Excess Heat and Fire Toxin)Pattern
To develop the diagnostic criteria of intense fire-heat (excess heat and fire toxin) pa-ttern, thereby providing the basis for clinical diagnosis.
Methods
2
Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine
and electronic databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and SinoMed were searched for ancient and modern literature about intense fire-heat pattern. An item pool was constructed after preliminary screening of the literature, and were revised and improved through multi-center investigation. The Expert Consultation Questionnaire was established, and two-round Delphi survey was conducted to screen the important and key items. The final diagnostic items of intense fire-heat pattern was determined through expert consensus, and the weight of each item was defined by analytic hierarchy process. The diagnostic threshold was preliminarily estimated by diagnostic test.
Results
2
A total of 340 medical cases and 574 modern papers were obtained, involving 7388 symptoms, tongue and pulse manifestations. Preliminarily, 44 symptoms, eight tongue and eight pulse manifestations were selected to construct the item pool, and 61 items were retained after multi-center investigation. The first round of Delphi survey produced 38 important items, which were reduced to 21 items after the second round of delphi survey, and 17 items were determined through expert consensus finally. After the weight was calculated, the diagnostic criteria was established. In addition, a diagnostic test of 287 patients was conducted; the ROC curve was drawn and the Youden index was calculated. When Youden index reached its maximum, the cut-off value was found to be 3.5-5.5 points, so it was preliminarily considered that 3.5 to 5.5 points was an appropriate diagnostic range.
Conclusion

The diagnostic criteria for intense fire-heat (excess heat and fire toxin) pattern was developed by combining qualitative and quantitative methods as well as integrating literature review with clinical investigation, thereby providing references for future related clinical trials.
