T/CACM 1332-2019 Diagnostic Criteria for Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome

Scope

Main technical content: This standard is a normative document guiding and standardizing the diagnosis of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. Based on the previous diagnosis standards for kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and referring to the mixed-method research theory, this research group first established an item pool through literature research, accurately defined related terms, completed the preliminary screening of items and the development of questionnaires through expert meeting methods, and conducted a questionnaire survey among 220 experts at or above the associate senior level in 15 provinces and cities of China to assign weights to the items. Through two rounds of in-depth interviews with 15 experts (a total of 18 people), the item screening and item definition were refined, and the diagnosis items and weights for kidney-yang deficiency syndrome were determined. This standard improves the diagnosis criteria for kidney-yang deficiency syndrome, providing guidance and assistance for clinical diagnosis and scientific research. This standard is based on the positioning (physiological function of the kidneys), qualification (deficiency of yang qi) and characteristic tongue and pulse images of traditional Chinese medicine kidney-yang deficiency syndrome, establishing a diagnostic standard combining positioning items, qualification items, tongue and pulse images. This standard is a common diagnostic standard for kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and can be applied in different professional fields. However, due to the influence of the regions, academic schools, experts' academic fields, clinical experience and item settings involved in the interviews and questionnaires, pediatrics, andrology and gynecology may need further revision in specific applications. 1.
