甲状腺功能减退症中医临床疗效评价的思考

Reflections on Efficacy Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Hypothyroidism

在分析中医药治疗甲减疗效评价现状的基础上,探讨引入PRO(患者报告的临床结局)作为中医药治疗甲减疗效评价指标的必要性。作者认为可以借鉴西方医学PRO量表评价方法,研制中国特色的甲减PRO量表作为评价工具,使甲减的临床疗效评价定量化、客观化。

Based on current efficacy evaluation of Chinese medicine treatment of hypothyroidism, we explore the feasibility of introdu-cing PRO （ Patient Reported Outcomes） as the clinical evaluation index. Learning from the experience of PRO checklist evaluation meth-od of Western medicine, we can develop the hypothyroidism PRO scale of Chinese medicine, to make the efficacy evaluation more quan-titative and objective.
