Study on the traditional Chinese medicine syndromes of 1, 000 male patients with androgenetic alopecia based on factor-cluster analysis
To study the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
Methods
2
The clinical data of 1
000 male patients with AGA admitted to the Hair Medicine Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. A self-designed TCM symptom questionnaire was used to collect clinical information of the four examinations. Descriptive frequency analysis
factor-cluster analysis
and Chi-square test were performed using Excel and SPSS 26.0 software. The clinical data were combined to summarize the main TCM syndromes and symptoms.
Results
2
The top five symptoms ranked by frequency were scalp oil (94.6%)
scalp scurf(73.0%)
scalp pruritus(71.2%)
depression(67.5%)
and fatigue (66.3%). Four TCM syndromes were derived using factor-cluster analysis: syndrome of internal retention of dampness-heat (34.6%)
syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency(28.7%)
syndrome of blood heat and wind-dryness(22.2%)
and syndrome of liver-kidney deficiency (14.5%). Men aged 20 to
<
30 years were mainly syndrome of internal retention of dampness-heat
those aged 30 to
<
40 years were mainly syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency
and those aged 40 to
<
50 years were mainly syndrome of internal retention of dampness-heat. There was a significant difference in the distribution of TCM syndromes in patients aged 30 to
<
40 years (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Male AGA syndromes are mainly syndrome of internal retention of dampness-heat and syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency
and the distribution of syndromes differs across age groups. It is feasible to evaluate TCM syndromes with factor-cluster analysis combined with experts’ experiences for the clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment of male AGA.
