Literature Research on COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Information Collection,TCM Syndrome Distribution and Prescription Medication Rules
Objective The purpose of this study is to use data mining technology to deeply explore the diagnosis,TCM syn-drome distribution and drug use rules of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)patients,in order to provide an effective refer-ence for the treatment of COVID-19 with traditional Chinese medicine.Methods Through the search,we can obtain the TCM syndrome types and TCM prevention and treatment schemes involved in Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for COVID-19 from the National Health Commission and all over the country,as well as the Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang database.A total of 249 literatures related to the treatment of COVID-19 were included.Through screening,sorting and deduplication of the literature,and the database of traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions,diagnosis and treat-ment information databases were set up,and syndrome types databases,frequency analysis and frequency analysis were used to an-alyze the results.Results The common symptoms of patients with COVID-19 in this study were cough,dry throat and sore throat,fever,anorexia and fatigue.Most patients showed pink tongue,red tongue,pulse for slippery pulse,slippery pulse;the high frequency of TCM syndromes were damp and toxin stagnation in lung syndrome,damp-heat accumulation in lung syndrome,lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome,cold and dampness stagnation in lung syndrome,Qi and Yin injury syndrome and blood stasis syndrome.In addition,a total of 491 Chinese medical compound prescriptions for the treatment of COVID-19 were included,in-volving 227 Chinese drugs,and a total of 64 high-frequency Chinese drugs were obtained.The drug categories were mainly heat-clearing drugs,tonic drugs,relieving the exterior drugs,reliving cough and asthma drugs and eliminating dampness drugs;the medicinal properties were mainly warm,flat and cold,and the tastes were mainly sweet,pungent and bitter.Most of the Chi-nese drugs belonged to the lung,spleen and stomach meridians.The results of cluster analysis clustered the high-frequency drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 into 8 categories according to the performance of traditional Chinese medicine.Conclusion The medication of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of COVID-19 has the following characteristics:the number of tonic drugs is more,reflecting attacking evil without forgetting to support vital Qi;relieving the exterior,clearing heat,purging,re-solving dampness,removing dampness and eliminating dampness drugs all reflect a variety of methods of expelling evils;the drugs are mainly heat-clearing drugs,tonic drugs,dampness-eliminating drugs,phlegm-resolving,cough-relieving and asthma-re-lieving drugs and the exterior-relieving drugs.The basic treatment methods are clearing heat and eliminating dampness,relie-ving cough and asthma and nourishing Qi and Yin.This study can provide some reference for guiding clinical medication and de-veloping new drugs.
