Abstract:

Objective To investigate the diagnostic experience of experts on the syndrome of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) in children by using the Delphi method, screen for the diagnostic indicators of syndromes, evaluate their importance, and provide evidence for the formulation of diagnostic standards for pediatric CAP. Methods Based on literature research, a questionnaire survey was conducted among selected experts using the Delphi method. The results of the questionnaire were statistically processed using Excel and SPSS 27.0 software, and the expert positive coefficient, expert authority coefficient, and the expert opinion coordination degree and concentration degree were calculated. Results A total of 30 domestic experts were selected for the questionnaire survey, with a questionnaire recovery rate of 90%. The expert authority coefficient was 0.905, and the expert coordination coefficient was 0.348(P<0.001). A total of 8 syndrome types were set up in the first round of expert questionnaire survey, including syndrome of heat pathogen blocking the lung, syndrome of lung and spleen-qi deficiency, syndrome of damp-heat blocking the lung, syndrome of wind-cold blocking the lung, syndrome of wind-heat blocking the lung, syndrome of toxic-heat blocking the lung, syndrome of phlegm-heat blocking the lung and syndrome of yin-deficiency with lung-heat, and their syndrome characteristics were analyzed. Conclusion This study initially explores the distribution pattern and characteristics of TCM syndromes in pediatric CAP, laying a foundation for subsequent researches on the diagnostic standards and clinical studies of TCM syndromes in pediatric CAP.
