Abstract：Based on the construction of the three-dimensional efficacy evaluation index system of"disease-syndrome-person",following the principle of combining subjective and objective indicators,doctor and patient reported outcomes,disease of Western medicine and syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and qualitative and quantitative research methods,this study aimed to achieve the goal of multi-index,multi-dimensional and comprehensive evaluation of clinical efficacy of TCM.The efficacy of TCM syndrome is conspicuously characteristic and the best example of efficacy evaluation indicators of TCM.However,the uncertainty of scientific connotation,evaluation ideas and methods,and key technologies of the efficacy of TCM syndrome results in confusion and heterogeneity of evaluation indicators,thus limiting the construction of efficacy evaluation indicator system of TCM.This study elucidated the multi-level,multi-dimensional and multi-perspective scientific connotation,clarified the evaluative dimension of patient and doctor-reported outcome indicators and objective biological indicators,advised using syndrome efficacy evaluation scales to evaluate the efficacy of Chinese medicine syndrome,and established the structure of the evaluation indicator system of TCM,to achieve scientific,objective,quantitative and standard evaluation of the efficacy of TCM syndrome and evaluating the efficacy of TCM with a multi-index and multi-dimension system.
