Abstract:
Objective：Study of the therapeutic efficiency of the combinational treatment of ChineseWestern medicine for pediatric bronchopneumonia.
Method：120 of pediatric bronchopneumonia patients were divided into two groups randomly, 60 cases for each group. Group one was treated with both Chinese and Western medicine and group two was treated with Western medicine only. The group one had antibiotics and modified Chinese herbal formula Qiang yuan su fei; the group two was given antibiotics and drinking water with brown sugar added. Both were monitored during hospitalization period, and the clinical curative effect of seventh and tenth days were reviewed.
Results：Significant difference between the two groups in the improvement of symptoms, signs and hospitalization time(P＜0.01）. In seventh day the cure rate of the group one was 61.6%, the total effective rate was 91.6%, significantly better than the group two with the cure rate of 41.6% and 76.6% of the total efficiency(P＜0.05）. In tenth day the cure rate of the group one was 81.6%, the cure rate of the group two of 68.3% at the same time, the group one was slightly better than the group two, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The group one per capita cost 632 yuan, compared with the group two of 21.35% reduction(P＜0.01). Conclusion：The combinational treatment with both Chinese and Western medicine for pediatric bronchopneumonia can improve the clinical curative effect and cure rate, shorten the treatment time and cost savings.
