ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the evidence from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and provide timely clinical practice guidance.METHODS:
The guidelines were developed in accordance with the World Health Organization rapid guideline process. The evidence on TCM for COVID-19 from published guidelines, direct and indirect published clinical evidence, first hand clinical data, and expert experience and consensus were collected. The grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) method was used to grade the evidence and make the recommendations.RESULTS:
Based on the available evidence, the guidelines recommended 17 Chinese medicines for COVID-19 2 Chinese herbal granules, 7 Chinese patent medicines, and 8 Chinese herbal injections.CONCLUSION:
As the literature search was conducted on March, any subsequent versions of these guidelines require an up-to-date literature review. We hope that the evidence summary in these will be helpful in global efforts to address COVID-19.Keywords
