Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the representative differential diagnosis methods of blood stasis pattern used in Korea, China and Japan, and then to characterize each diagnostic method. Methods Through the journal databases, we have selected representative tools that were developed for differential diagnosis of blood stasis pattern in Korea, China and Japan. In order to characterize the selected check-lists or questionnaires, we investigated the number of items, contents, score calculation method, internal consistency, and accuracy of each selected tool. Results A total of four diagnostic tools were finally selected; quantitative diagnosis scale of blood stasis syndrome (QDSBSS), diagnostic criteria for blood stasis (DCBS), blood stasis questionnaire (BSQ), and blood stasis syndrome questionnaire (BSSQ). The key points in the differential diagnosis for blood stasis were different for each of the diagnostic tool. The key point was oral mucosa (including tongue) status in the QDSBSS. Meanwhile it was abdominal pain/resistance in the DCBS, and general pain in the BSQ. Accuracy of the QDSBSS, the BSQ and the BSSQ were powerful but all of them was not generalized. Conclusions Therefore, it is desirable to select and apply a plurality of appropriate tools according to the characteristics of the blood stasis patients.
