Objective To verify the relationship between qi-yin deficiency syndrome and the etiology and diagnostic information on type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Data of 185 cases of qi-yin deficiency syndrome of type 2 diabetes and 351 cases of other syndromes at TCM Hospital of Hongqiao District in Tianjin and Metabolic Disease Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were randomly collected. Etiology and diagnostic information of qi-yin deficiency syndrome were screened by the likelihood radio of forward step method by using Logistic regression analysis. On this basis, the relationship between qi-yin deficiency syndrome and the etiology and diagnostic information was verified by using maximum likelihood estimation method of the structural equation model.Results The goodness of fit index of the model (GFI) was 0.909; root mean square residual (RMR) of that was 0.071; comparative fit index (CFI) of that was 0.942, which suggested that the fitting effect of the model was good. The reasonable interpretation of the relationship between qi-yin deficiency syndrome and the etiology and diagnostic information was given. Conclusion From the aspect of single syndrome factors, the relationship between qi-yin deficiency syndrome and the etiology and diagnostic information on type 2 diabetes mellitus is verified.
