TCM Syndrome Distribution Characteristics and Logistic Regression Analysis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of TCM syndrome and clinical relevant factors of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Totally 781 cases of BPH patients were collected. Chi-square test, analysis of rank and inspection were used to detect the distribution characteristics of TCM syndrome. The multiple classification logistic regression was used to analyze related factors.Results BPH 14 kinds of distribution of syndromes were statistically significant (P<0.01). One of the highest incidence is qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome (24.97%), and lung heat obstruction is the lowest (1.15%). Composite syndromes (529 cases) were more common than single syndrome (252 cases); syndromes of intermingled deficiency and excess (453 cases) were more common than simple excess (169 cases) or deficiency syndromes (159 cases). BPH single syndrome distribution was different in prostate volume, residual urine volume, maximum urine flow rate, and showed no difference in the serum PSA level. 3 logit model was established successfully. It was found that the patients with the features of 50 to 60 years old, the course < 3 years, I-PSS score for 8 to 19 points showed higher positive incidence of excess syndrome than intermingled deficiency and excess syndromes and deficiency syndrome.Conclusion This study reveals the BPH distribution characteristics and clinical related factors, which has guiding significance to improve TCM clinical level.
