Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate expert opinions on the questions contained in a questionnaire for diagnosing blood stasis accompanying metabolic disorders.
Methods : Two rounds of Delphi survey were conducted online targeting on one hundred Korean medicine doctors. Respondents rated the appropriateness of the 30 questions in diagnosing metabolic disorder on a five-point scale, anchored at ‘5 = very appropriate’, ‘4 = appropriate’, ‘3 = somewhat appropriate’, ‘2 = inappropriate’, and ‘1 = very inappropriate’.
Results : The mean score on 30 questions of first and second Delphi survey was 3.26 points and 3.31 points, respectively. The ranking of the top 10 questions that were rated as appropriate for diagnosing blood stasis accompanying metabolic disorder were ‘sublingual varices’, ‘reddish black tongue’, ‘reddish black gum’, ‘reddish black lips’, ‘‘dark purple palatal mucosa and venous edema’, ‘night pain, ‘ecchymosis of the tongue’, ‘piercing pain’, ‘ecchymosis of the skin’ and ‘prolonged numbness’.
Conclusions : The experts agreed that three of the most typical symptoms of blood stasis and the conditions of capillary vessels in the tongue or the oral cavity were highly associated with metabolic disorder, whereas the questions related to abdominal pain lacked an association with metabolic disorders.
