Brief summary
The project aims to conduct a retrospective study to assess the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on improving pregnancy rates and preventing miscarriages. It will include patients with infertility issues or a history of miscarriage. The study will analyze demographic and physiological data, TCM constitution, basal body temperature, reproductive history for females, and semen analysis for males, to determine the effectiveness of TCM care in enhancing fertility outcomes.
Detailed description
The present project plans to conduct a retrospective study based on the data of the National Health Insurance Traditional Chinese Medicine Enhancement Quality of Maternity Care Plan. Analysis Methods: The collected data was archived using SPSS software, and the following testing methods were employed for statistical analysis among different datasets: 1. Paired-t Test: Examining differences in temperature and duration between follicular and luteal phases in females before and after treatment. 2. Chi-Square Test: Assessing the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine constitution and pregnancy outcomes. 3. McNemar Test: Testing the significance of changes in traditional Chinese medicine constitution before and after treatment. 4. Logistic Regression: Conducting multivariate analysis to explore factors associated with pregnancy status. The purpose of this project is to figure out after conducting proper Chinese medical care, whether it will improve the target patients' pregnancy rate and miscarriage prevention rate. Those data will conduct a biological analysis to compare the difference between pregnancy and miscarriage prevention rates between different patients.
