关于循证医学的问题与思考

Thoughts on Evidence-Based Medicine and Relation between Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine

本文阐述了对循证医学的“三原则”和实践循证医学的“五程式”的理解;循证医学是人类数千年形成的道德准则和公理在医学上的体现,是先进的临床医学模式和临床实践的方法论,其产生的基础是临床科研方法学的发展和完善、最佳证据数据库的产生以及信息技术的发展,归根结底是一切为了人类健康的需要。本文还就中医现代化与循证医学的关系进行了探讨,认为中医现代化的定义就是科学化和国际化,科学化的前提是标准化,中医临床实践的科学化首先就要探索诊断技术的标准化;中医理论主要是临床医学的实践理论而不是基础医学理论,循证医学是临床医学模式,循证医学模式应成为中医临床实践的标准化模式,由此推动中医诊断治疗的标准化;沟通中医与西医之桥不在于使中医的传统理论“现代化”,而在于共同的疗效评价标准,由此,中医的疗效就能得到国际认可,而实现中医的国际化。

We described our understanding of EBM, the ‘three principles＇ and ‘five steps＇ to practice it. EBM is an embodiment of human moral rule and axiom in clinical medicine; it is an advanced clinical model and medical practical methodology; it results from a basis of developed and perfected clinical research methodology, best evidence database, information technology. We also discussed the relationship between EBM and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） modernization. The definition of modernization of TCM was suggested as scientifical standardization and internationalization. TCM theory in fact is not a basic but a clinical practice theory. EBM model should become the standard model of TCM practice to accelarate the standardization of TCM diagnostic technique and therapy. The key is not try to explain TCM theories with modern medical theroies, but work out common effectiveness evaluation criteria. Only when the effectiveness is intemationally acknowledged, can TCM be internationalized.
