论证候量表的诊断功能与评价功能

Discussion on the diagnosis and evaluation function of the syndrome scale

有学者提出证候量表应分为诊断量表与评价量表两部分分别进行研制,笔者以肝郁化热证证候量表为例,分别对证候诊断量表和评价量表进行研制。发现在明确界定证候诊断与证候评价内涵不同的基础上研制出来的《肝郁化热证证候诊断量表》和《肝郁化热证证候评价量表》分别具有更好的诊断能力和评价能力,为中医证候诊断与评价量表的编制提供了部分方法学上的参考。

The proposal that the syndrome scale should be developed respectively for diagnosis scale and the evaluation scale has been pointed out recently. Because of that, we took the syndrome scale of the liver depression transforming into heatas an example, and developed the diagnosis scale and evaluation scale of syndrome of the liver depression transforming into heat. It was found that based on the clarification of the definition of diagnosis and evaluation, the diagnosis scale and the evaluation scale showed better performance in diagnosis and evaluation correspondingly. This study provided some references on how to develop the TCM syndrome scale in methodology.
