Abstract

|
Objectives: We aimed to analyze traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) literatures in regards to the pattern identification and related symptoms of idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Methods: We searched relevant literatures published up to September 29, 2020 through three Chinese electronic databases. We performed frequency analysis of the selected studies by extracting information on pattern identification, clinical symptoms, and TCM treatments presenting pattern identification of ISS.
Results: Sixteen studies were included. Spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, dual deficiency of spleen-kidney, and liver-kidney yin deficiency were frequently reported. Clinical symptoms of the spleen deficiency include sallow complexion, body constituent weakness, anorexia, lack of qi and no desire to speak, and loose stools. Herbal medicines (HMs) such as Sijunzi-tang were frequently reported. Clinical symptoms of the kidney deficiency include cold limb and fear of cold, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, and clear and long urine. HMs such as Bishendihuang-wan were frequently reported. Clinical symptoms of the dual deficiency of spleen-kidney include body constituent weakness, spirit lassitude and lack of strength, anorexia, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, and cold limb and fear of cold. HMs such as Sijunzi-tang plus Bishendihuang-wan were frequently reported. Clinical symptoms of the liver-kidney yin deficiency include tidal fever and night sweating, heat in the palms and soles, dizziness, and dry throat. HMs such as Liuweidihuang-wan were frequently reported.
Conclusions: This was the first study to analyze the frequency of pattern identification and related symptoms on ISS. In the future, a standardized Korean medicine pattern identification system should be established.
