Correlation analysis of clinical characteristics and high risk factors in patients with bronchiectasis with subclinical arteriosclerotic disease and distribution of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types
Objective:To analyze the high risk factors and the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types in patients with bronchiectasis with subclinical arteriosclerotic disease(SAS).Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted,a total of 157 patients with bronchiectasis who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Chinese Medicine due to acute exacerbation from July 2021 to August 2022 were selected.According to whether they had SAS or not,they were divided into the bronchiectasis with SAS group(91 cases)and the simple bronchiectasis group(66 cases).Propensity score matching method was used to eliminate confounding factors between groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of bronchiectasis with SAS,and the distribution of TCM syndrome types was discussed.Results:FEV1%pred,FVC%pred,CD4T and CD8+T could significantly affect the incidence of bronchiectasis combined with SAS,which were the high risk factors affecting the incidence of bronchiectasis with SAS.The simple bronchiectasis group was mainly based on empirical evidence,and the syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulation in the lung was the most common,accounting for 51.52%(34/66).The bronchiectasis with SAS group was mainly characterized by deficiency and excess syndrome,and the most common syndrome was phum-heat obstruction and deficiency of both lung qi and yin,accounting for 42.42%(28/66).Conclusion:The decrease of pulmonary ventilation function and immune function are independent risk factors for bronchiectasis with SAS.Compared with bronchiectasis alone,the TCM syndrome types of bronchiectasis with SAS are more characterized by the combination of deficiency and excess,and the syndrome of phum-heat obstruction and deficiency of qi and yin is the most common.
