@entity1 @entity64 @entity894 @entity385
Objectives. This study was conducted to verify the necessity of corresponding prescription to the diagnosed pattern in acute @entity385 @entity1 . Methods. We studied @entity385 @entity1 hospitalized within 30 days after the ictus. Forty-four clinical indicators, @entity894 ( @entity894 ) score, Scandinavian @entity64 Scale (SSS) score, and herbal prescriptions were checked twice, two weeks apart. The probability of each pattern was calculated based on the clinical indicators. Changes in @entity894 score, SSS score, and the probability of fire-heat pattern were compared between the pattern-prescription correspondence group and the noncorrespondence group. Results. Increments of @entity894 score and SSS score in the correspondence group were significantly greater than those of the noncorrespondence group (p = 0.003, p = 0.001) while the baseline score of the two groups showed no significant difference. Probability of fire-heat pattern decreased significantly in the correspondence group (p = 0.013) while the noncorrespondence group showed no significant difference after the treatment. Conclusion. Acute @entity385 @entity1 who are diagnosed as fire-heat pattern showed better improvement in dysfunctions caused by the disease when they took the pattern corresponding prescriptions. This study provides evidence for the necessity and usefulness of pattern identification in Traditional Korean Medicine.
