"本研究的目的在了解台灣北部某醫學中心罹患過敏性鼻炎患者的中醫證型、病情重度及年齡分布的關聯。本研究選取對塵蟎過敏的過敏性鼻炎患者為對象並依據中醫辨證將之進行分類,並以過敏性鼻炎症狀量表、血清IgE指數等項當作疾病症狀嚴重度的指標。結果發現過敏性鼻炎的證型與臨床上紀錄的重度沒有直接關係,但是過敏性鼻炎病患在個案年齡與中醫辨證分型之變異數分析中,腎氣虛型平均為57.4±12.0歲,肺氣虛型平均為29.4±13.3歲、肺脾氣虛型平均為25.1±12.3歲,統計三者之間發現腎氣虛型與年齡有直接的關係(p<0.001)。由此研究發現,中醫理論中的腎氣虛型的過敏性鼻炎與老年有明顯的相關性。The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patterns, disease severity and age by using a sample of patients having allergic rhinitis with the presence of dust mite-specific IgE from a medical center in Taoyuan, Taiwan. We classified patients with allergic rhinitis into three categories: Kidney qi deficiency, Lung qi deficiency and Lung-Spleen qi deficiency based on their TCM patterns. The disease severity was determined by the allergic rhinitis symptom scales and serum IgE levels. ANOVA statistically analysis showed no significant correlation between the TCM patterns and disease severity. However, the average age of the Kidney qi deficiency, Lung qi deficiency and Lung-Spleen qi deficiency patients was 57.4 ± 12.0, 29.4 ± 13.3 and 25.1 ± 12.3, respectively (p<0.001), which indicated that the Kidney qi deficiency pattern patients have a significant older age comparing to the other groups. This study revealed the significant correlation between Kidney qi deficiency pattern with an average of older age among mite-allergic rhinitis patients. " |
