600例类风湿性关节炎患者的中医分型研究

为研究类风湿性关节炎（类风关）的中医分型与患者性别，发病年龄，病期及临床表现之间的关系，选择６００例患者用ＦＯＸＢＡＳＥ建立数据库，然后用计算机进行统计分析。结果：类风关的中医分型男女性别之间无差异；风湿热郁型的发病年龄最轻，痰阏互结型的发病年龄最大；肝肾阴虚和痰瘀互结型的病期明显超过风湿热郁型；各型临床表现的差别无统计意义。从而 产类风关患者的中医分型符合疾病实际情况。

Study on TCM Pattern Classification of Rheumatoid Arthritis in 600 Cases

In order to investigate the relationship between TCM pattern classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and sex,age,illness duration and clinical manifestations of the patients,600 cases were selected and analyzed statistically with database set up by FOXBASE in the computer.The results showed that no statistical difference existed between sexes in males and females in pattern classification of RA,the onset age was youngest in the pattern of wind dampness and heat accumulation,oldest in the pattern of mutual retention of phlegm and stasis,and the illness duration in the pattern of yin deficiency in the liver and kidney and the pattern of mutual retention of phlegm and stasis was obviously longer than that in the pattern of wind dampness and heat accumulation,and that there was no statistical significance in clinical manifestations among various patterns.These results further proved that TCM pattern classification in RA patients agreed with practical situation of this disease.
