Brief summary
Explore the characteristics of TCM syndrome elements and distribution patterns of syndrome types in comorbid populations; Screen for high-risk syndrome patterns and frequently co-occurring complex syndromes; Identify characteristic syndrome patterns at key stages: acute phase, recovery phase, and upon occurrence of endpoint events; Investigate the temporal evolution of TCM syndrome patterns and the disease-syndrome correlation patterns in comorbid patients.
Detailed description
A registry study of 12,000 real-world patients with comorbidities is conducted to collect and investigate the epidemiological characteristics of populations with Tang-Nao (diabetes with cerebrovascular disease), Tang-Xin (diabetes with cardiovascular disease), and triple comorbidities. Through syndrome epidemiology surveys, multi-timepoint cross-sectional investigations on the TCM syndrome of Toxin Damaging Collaterals are performed to explore the characteristics of TCM syndrome elements and distribution patterns of syndrome types in comorbid populations, screen high-risk syndromes and frequently co-occurring complex syndromes, identify characteristic syndromes at acute phase, recovery phase, and upon occurrence of endpoint events, and investigate the evolution of TCM syndromes and disease-syndrome correlation patterns in comorbid patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern (or Syndrome) Evolution Law in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) | Baseline (enrollment, T0) and follow-up at 3 months (T1), 6 months (T2) with data collected through clinical visits and standardized syndrome assessment forms. | Based on the TCM theory of toxin-damaged collaterals, this outcome measures the dynamic changes in syndrome patterns (including qi deficiency, phlegm-dampness, heat-toxin, etc.) and their transition rules in patients with comorbidities. Assessment will use a standardized Toxin-Damaged Collaterals Syndrome Collection Form, integrating four diagnostic methods (tongue coating, pulse, symptom scores, and syndrome differentiation results) at multiple follow-up time points to quantify syndrome evolution trends. |
