摘要

To investigate a method for quantitative differential diagnosis of damp-heat and cold-damp impeding syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Chinese medicine (CM). Laboratory parameters were collected from 306 patients with RA. The clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters were compared between patients with these two syndromes (158 with RA of damp-heat impeding syndrome

and 148 with RA of cold-damp impeding syndrome)

and a regression equation was established to facilitate discrimination of the two RA syndromes. There were significant differences in disease activity score in 28 joints [DAS28 (4)]

erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

white blood cell count (WBC)

C-reactive protein (CRP)

platelet count (PLT)

albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) between the two syndrome of RA (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the parameters ESR

WBC

CRP

joint pyrexia

joint cold

thirst

sweating

aversion to wind and cold

and cold extremities were statistically useful to discriminate damp-heat from cold-damp impeding syndrome. The regression equation was as follows: P=1/{1+exp[-(3.0-0.021X 1-0.196X 2-0.163X 3-1.559X 4+1.504X 5-0.927X 6-1.039X 7+1.070X 8+1.330X 9)]}. The independent variables X 1-X 9 were ESR

WBC

CRP

hot joint

cold joint

thirst

sweating

aversion to wind and cold

and cold limbs. A P value > 0.5 signified cold-damp impeding syndrome

and a P value < 0.5 signified damp-heat impeding syndrome. The accuracy was 90.2%. The regression equation may be useful for discriminating damp-heat from cold-damp impeding syndrome of RA.
