A Preliminary Study on Discriminant Analysis of Syndrome Types in the Recovery Period of Stroke in Traditional Chinese Medicine

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to understand the distribution of syndrome types, the data of four diagnostic information variables, and the correlative degree and diagnostic value of four diagnosis indexes and syndromes in patients with the recovery period of ischemic stroke through clinical case data. METHODS: This study developed a unified clinical case collection table, following the clinical research design, measurement, and evaluation methods, using Chi-Square test, logistic regression analysis, and diagnostic test evaluation methods for data screening, analysis, and testing. RESULTS: According to the comprehensive comparison, analysis, and evaluation, the study concluded that the specificity, sensitivity, positive likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, and Youden index of “thick fur, slippery pulse” was the highest. CONCLUSION: “thick fur, slippery pulse” is the best combination to diagnose the phlegm-stasis in channels during the recovery period of ischemic stroke.
