关于中医病名、证候、症状、体征、病状、临床表现等术语规范化

Standardization of TCM Terms Such as Disease Names, Syndromes, Symptoms, Signs, Symptoms and Clinical Manifestations

摘要: 目的：促进中医病名、证候、症状、体征、病状、临床表现等术语分类规范化。方法：通过文献研究，明确上述术语的现状和存在的问题，给出作者相应的建议。结果：症状术语最为混乱，症状、体征未严加区分，尚无症状、体征术语标准等。结论：规范化是一个长期的过程，需要达成共识，养成习惯，坚持遵守。病名、证候、症状、体征、病状、临床表现这几个术语的内涵有一些共性，就是都与疾病有关，用于描述、记载或诊断疾病，但临床上存在使用混乱，界限不清的问题。虽然内容完整准确是学术成果的基础，但随着信息化时代的到来，内容分类的规范，名词术语的统一也成为必然，这有利于查询和检索。本文的目的就是明确以上术语的内涵，推动术语分类规范化。

Abstract: Objective: To promote the classification and standardization of TCM terms such as disease names, syndromes, symptoms, signs, symptoms and clinical manifestations. Methods: Through literature research, the present situation and existing problems of the above terms were clarified, and the corresponding suggestions were given. Results: Symptom terminology is the most confusing, symptoms and signs are not strictly distinguished, and there is no standard of symptom and sign terminology. Conclusion: Standardization is a long-term process, and it is necessary to reach consensus, form habits and adhere to them. The connotations of the terms disease name, syndrome, symptoms, signs, symptoms and clinical manifestations have some commonalities, that is, they are all related to diseases and used to describe, record or diagnose diseases, but there are some problems in clinical use, such as confusion and unclear boundaries. Although the integrity and accuracy of content are the academic foundation, with the advent of the information age, the standardization of content classification and the unification of terminology have become inevitable, which is beneficial to query and retrieval. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the connotation of the above terms and promote the standardization of terminology classification.
