Frontiers and Key Issues in the Disciplinary Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine Spleen and Stomach Diseases
To identify the frontiers and key issues in the discipline of spleen and stomach diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), providing direction and a foundation for its future development.
Methods
2
First, a systematic literature search and analysis were conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and PubMed databases for publications related to TCM spleen and stomach diseases from September 30, 2014, to September 30, 2024. Additionally, reports on the development of TCM disciplines published up to January 1, 2025, were retrieved from platforms such as the National Library of China and the China Association for Science and Technology. Based on this, preliminary items for the frontiers and key issues in TCM spleen and stomach disease studies were drafted. Second, experts nationwide in TCM spleen and stomach diseases and methodology were selected to evaluate and choose items using the Delphi method via questionnaire surveys. Third, an advisory expert panel was formed to further collect suggestions for revising the content and wording of the items. Finally, an expert consensus meeting was held to finalize the items.
Results
2
Through systematic retrieval and analysis, 5 dimensions, 16 preli-minary items, and 37 initial disease types were identified. Thirty-two nationwide experts nationwide were invited to participate in item evaluation and selection, achieving a 100% questionnaire response rate and an expert authority coefficient of 0.98. Based on item importance scores and coefficients of variation, 10 preliminary items and 12 advantageous disease types were initially formed. Subsequently, 9 advisory experts and 25 consensus experts were invited to discuss and refine the wording and content of the items, ultimately reaching a consensus. A total of 21 items were finalized, organized into 5 dimensions,i.e. theoretical inheritance, basic research, clinical research, interdisciplinary integration, and advantageous disease types.
Conclusion
