Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treatment of Unstable Angina
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in the treatment of unstable angina. Method: A cohort study was performed in this study. During the period of hospitalization
the exposure group was established through the application of TCM injection for at least 7 days. During the follow-up period
the exposure group was established through the application of Chinese medicine or TCM decoction for at least 28 days. The general information
application of TCM and endpoint events of patients were collected based on the medical records during hospitalization. The application of TCM and endpoint events of patients from the date of discharge to December 31
2015 were followed up by telephone. The single factor analysis was made by chi-square test. The multivariate analysis was performed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Result: During hospitalization
top three endpoint events were revascularization (30.93%)
myocardial infarction (25.77%) and stroke (18.56%). TCM therapy (OR=2.651
CI=1.089-6.454)
age (OR=1.881
CI=0.817-2.950)
antithrombotic therapy (OR=1.088
CI=1.026-1.296)
anti-myocardial ischemia therapy (OR=1.150
CI=0.051-2.445)
and lipid-lowering therapy (OR=1.241
CI=1.085-1.683) were the factors related to myocardial infarction. TCM(OR=2.972
CI=1.113-7.930) was associated with stroke. During the follow-up period
the endpoint events were cardiovascular readmission (11.66%)
revascularization (7.13%) and stroke (3.89%). TCM(OR=1.515
CI=0.299-1.886) and age (OR=1.892
CI=0.813-1.979) were related factors of cardiac death. Conclusion: TCM
age and gender are the related factors of endpoint events in patients with unstable angina. TCM can reduce the incidences of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with unstable angina during hospitalization
