| Abstract
|
| [Objective] For the sake of Infantile Anorexia(feeding disorder) Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes Curative Effect Evaluating Scale can really be applied to clinical practice, each item of the scale will be weighted and the application form of the scale will be determined. [Methods] The weighting coefficient of each item was determined using subjective and objective methods, and scale dimension was affirmed by refering to results of exploratory factor analysis, which could be combined and obtained common clinical syndromes, then the application form of the scale could be determined. [Results] The subjective and objective weight coefficients of various items were determined by using the Delphi method and factorial analysis, respectively. The final weight coefficient of each item was obtained by multiplying the two coefficients above, then they were processed for normalization. We obtained eight common factors using exploratory factor analysis, and each factor represents a dimension. The combination of different factors can reflect the different of infantile anorexia (feeding disorder) syndromes; this scale could be split into several different scales to evaluate different infantile anorexia (feeding disorder) syndromes. [Conclusion] Comprehensive weighting method is rigorous and scientific, and represents the clinical practice. The weight coefficient of each item is desirable using this method. The scale could be splited and formed several sub-scales by a combination of different factors, which can be used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of common infantile anorexia (feeding disorder) syndromes. |
