ABSTRACT
Syndrome differentiation and treatment is a unique mode of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The establishment of scientific and standardized syndrome diagnosis standards is an important link to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TCM objectively and systematically， and also a prerequisite for the promotion and development of TCM to obtain international recognition. This article reviewed the basic modes and existed problems of the current syndrome diagnosis criteria， and proposed to construct a multidimensional core information set integrating the minimized core symptoms， the artificial intelligence signs， the multi-modal laboratory indicators， and multi-omics specific markers， so as to present syndrome characteristics from multiple perspectives systematically. This paper also described the basic mode， constructure， as well as the process and methodology to be adopted in the establishment of the standardized diagnostic research method. The core information set of diagnostic symptoms not only took into account the specificity of the disease， but also improved the inconsistency due to the complexity and subjectivity of the syndrome differentiation， thereby providing a methodological basis for the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation in clinical research.
ABSTRACT
The elderly are the main body of people with sarcopenia which not only seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly, but also brings a heavy burden to the family and society.Maintaining and improving the function of the elderly and preventing the occurrence of sarcopenia in the elderly are the important measures in the health management of the elderly.In order to effectively carry out health education on sarcopenia in the elderly and to popularize relevant health care knowledge, the National Center of Gerontology and the Chinese Geriatrics Society have formulated the "Chinese expert consensus on the core information for the prevention of sarcopenia in the elderly(2021)" , relying on the expert team after several rounds of expert discussions.It provides scientific basis for the management and early intervention of sarcopenia.Let us now try to interpret the consensus on the key knowledge points of the core information sequence.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To develop a core information index system of disability for the elderly, which is suitable for the elderly in China and has educational and guiding significance and universal application value.@*Methods@#The index system framework was established through an extensive literature review and expert discussions, and the index system was constructed by the Delphi expert consultation method.@*Results@#A total of 74 experts (84 person-times)from various fields participated in the Delphi expert consultations.The positive coefficients of experts for the five rounds of expert consultations were 94.55%, 100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00% and 100.00%, respectively.The authoritative coefficients of experts ranged from 0.75 to 0.90.Based on the five rounds of Delphi expert surveys, the core information index system of disability for the elderly was composed of 16 indicators including health literacy of the elderly, nutritional status, musculoskeletal function, vaccination, prevention of falls, attention to mental health, social function, etc.@*Conclusions@#The core information index system of disability for the elderly is comprehensive, covering all components considered essential by a consensus from experts in various fields, and it is authoritative, extendable, scientific, influential, stable and popular.
