Treatment of Peripheral Vascular Diseases by Mailuo Shutong Pill (脉络舒通丸): A Real World Study based on Propensity Score
(脉络舒通丸, MSP) in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases based on the real-world medical electronic database.
Methods
2
The data was collected from the electronic medical cases of 14 tertiary hospitals, and patients with peripheral vascular disease were included in the study. According to whether MSP
was taken
or not, patients were classified into MSP group and control group. The two groups were matched in gender, age (+/- five years) and the hospital admission condition at a ratio of 1
1, with 293 patients in each group. The outcome on the effectiveness was evaluated. Propensity score was used to control the potential confounding factors. Four statistical methods including χ
2
test, univariate logistic regression, propensity score weighted logistic regression with or without covariates, and propensity score weighted logistic regression with or without covariates were used to analyze the effectiveness.
Results
2
There were 290 (98.98%) effective cases and 3 (1.02%) ineffective cases in MSP group, while the corresponding numbers in the control group were 269 (91.81%) and 24 (8.19%) respectively, with significant differences between groups (χ
2
=15.53,
P
<0.001). Twenty-seven confounding factors with high degree of influence were identified based on propensity score, among which 14 factors were adjusted. The adjusted results obtained by the four statistical methods all showed significant difference (
P
<0.001), indicating that the efficacy of MSP group was better than the control group.
Conclusion
2
MSP has a good clinical effect on peripheral vascular diseases.
