Abstract:
The main contribution of this research paper is to summarize the results of Meta-analysis of moxibustion in the treatment of infantile diarrhea which is one the common disease and requires considerable attention from the research community and funding organizations. In order to verify that the proposed scheme has merits, a comprehensive searching methodology was adopted by considering various databases such as China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Network Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Pub Med Database, Google Academic, and Cochrane Library. It is important to note that a powerful computer has been utilized to carry out this searching. Finally, only those literature contents are selected which meet the inclusion criteria. Likewise, exclusion criteria was used to exclude irrelevant contents of the literature. RevMan 5.3 was used to analyze the collected data and after reading the titles and abstracts, 29 well-designed studies were selected. Through searching the full text, reading literature, and quality evaluation, 17 papers were finally included. Response rates were reported in all 17 studies, and subgroup analysis was performed based on whether or not other therapies were combined. 7 studies compared the effectiveness of simple moxibustion and conventional therapy in the treatment of infantile diarrhea, and the results showed statistically significant differences [OR = 4.01, 95% CI (2.03, 7.84), P < 0.0001]; 10 studies compared the effectiveness of moxibustion combined with other therapies and conventional therapies in the treatment of diarrhea in children, and the results showed that the difference had general meaning [OR = 4.45, 95% CI (2.83, 7.10), P < 0.00001]. The funnel plot (in Figure) showed that the distribution of included studies was asymmetrical on both sides of the baseline, which could be considered as publication bias. Traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion could effectively relieve the symptoms of infantile diarrhea, and the effect was significant.
摘要:
本研究的主要贡献是总结了艾灸治疗小儿腹泻的Meta分析结果,这是一种常见疾病,需要研究界和资助机构的高度重视。为了验证所提出的方案是否有优点,通过考虑各种数据库,如中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM),中国国家知识网络基础设施(CNKI),万方数据库,PubMed数据库,谷歌学术,科克伦图书馆重要的是要注意,一台功能强大的计算机已被用来执行此搜索。最后,只选择符合纳入标准的文献内容。同样,排除标准用于排除不相关的文献内容.使用RevMan5.3对收集的数据进行分析,并在阅读标题和摘要后,选择了29项精心设计的研究。通过搜索全文,阅读文学,和质量评估,最终包含了17篇论文。所有17项研究都报告了反应率,亚组分析是基于是否联合其他疗法进行的.7项研究比较了单纯艾灸和常规疗法治疗小儿腹泻的有效性,结果显示差异有统计学意义[OR=4.01,95%CI(2.03,7.84),P<0.0001];10项研究比较了艾灸联合其他疗法和常规疗法治疗小儿腹泻的有效性,结果表明,差异具有一般意义[OR=4.45,95%CI(2.83,7.10),P<0.00001]。漏斗图(图中)显示纳入研究的分布在基线两侧是不对称的,这可以被认为是出版偏见。中药艾灸能有效缓解小儿腹泻症状,且效果显著。
