Establishment of “Scoring Classification Method” and Its Application in the Evaluation of Function and Indications of Traditional Chinese Medicine Injections

OBJECTIVE To discuss the clinical application of the function and indications of traditional Chinese medicine injection and to provide reference for rational selection of traditional Chinese medicine injections. METHODS A “scoring classification method” was established to score 53 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections in the medical insurance from 8 aspects affecting the selection of indicators. To explore the problems in the specific clinical selection of their functions and indications. RESULTS Fifty-third kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections were classified according to the “score classification”, and the score statistics were -2 points, -1 points, 0 points, 2 points, 3 points, 4 points, 5 points, 6 points and 7 points respectively. None of the traditional Chinese medicine injections had all the extra points. Among them, there were 4 groups of 15 drugs, with the largest number accounting for 28.30%. There were 22 drugs with a score less than 4, accounting for 41.51%. There were 16 drugs with scores greater than 4, accounting for 30.19%. Five drugs with a score below 0(including 0 points). The highest score was 7, and there were three drugs. CONCLUSION There is a lack of complete prescription rules and modern research on the instructions of traditional Chinese medicine injections, and there is still a lack of content for the guidance of labeling items on clinical rational drug selection.
