Distribution Characteristics and Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Types in Patients with Large Intestinal Polyps
Objective To investigate the epidemiology,traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)syndrome types,and association of large intestinal polyps.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 211 patients with colon polyps who had diarrhea as the main clinical manifestation,and TCMsyndrome types and their association were analyzed.Results Among the 211 patients with large intestinal polyps,the male/female ratio was about 3∶1,and their age ranged from 18 to 83 years;the detec-tion rate of large intestinal polyps was 88.6％ in the patients aged >40 years;sessile polyps accounted for a higher proportion (62.1％)than pedunculated polyps,and multiple polyps accounted for a higher proportion (69.2％)than solitary polyps;the polyps with a diameter of <1 cm accounted for 75.8％,and adenomatous polyps accounted for 82.9％.Common TCM syn-drome types included deficiency of the spleen and stomach,syndrome of liver Qi invading the spleen,syndrome of damp-heat in middle energizer,and spleen deficiency and damp-heat syndrome,among which deficiency of the spleen and stomach accounted for the highest proportion.There were significant differences in TCM syndrome types in terms of sex and the presence or ab-sence of drinking history (P<0.05).Among the patients with large intestinal polyps who had diarrhea as the main clinical manifestation,male patients accounted for a higher proportion than female patients,and the patients with drinking history ac-counted for a lower proportion than those without drinking history.There were no significant differences in TCM syndrome types in terms of age,smoking history,and history of cholecystectomy (P>0.05),and there were also no significant differ-ences in TCM syndrome types in terms of the morphology,number,size,and pathological type of polyps (P>0.05 ). Conclusion Male individuals aged >40 years are vulnerable to large intestinal polyps,and adenomatous polyps are relatively common.Deficiency of the spleen and stomach is the common TCM syndrome type.
