Abstract
    [Objective] To find the characteristics of syndrome and syndrome elements with analysis of information entropy. [Methods] The common symptoms in 1787 patients with Depression, Chronic Hepatitis B and Chronic Renal Failure (without TCM diagnosis previously) were analyzed with relational analysis of information entropy. [Results] Thirty-nine groups of symptom were acquired through the data analysis method. The following syndrome of kidney yang deficiency, liver qi stagnation, disharmony between liver and spleen, disharmony between liver and stomach, both qi and yin deficiency, heart qi deficiency, and so on, were found among the symptom groups. The following syndrome elements of disease location and nature were involved separately: heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidney, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm, dampness and heat. [Conclusion] Some groups of symptom based clinical investigation and analysis of information entropy may provide evidence for the study of syndrome and syndrome elements.
