[Clinical comprehensive evaluation of Binghuang Fule Ointment in treatment of eczema].

Abstract

Through a systematic review of the literature on the treatment of eczema with Binghuang Fule Ointment, the "6+1" assessment model was used to comprehensively evaluate its clinical value, providing a basis for decisions on the allocation of medical resources, rational clinical medication use, and hospital procurement and supply of Chinese patent medicines in China. Based on the relevant standards in the Guidelines for the Management of Clinical Evidence and Value Evaluation of Drugs, diversified research methods were adopted, including evidence-based medical evidence, questionnaire surveys, and pharmacoeconomic evaluations. These methods were combined with both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, and the multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA) model was applied to perform a comprehensive evaluation of Binghuang Fule Ointment in treating eczema. Safety was evaluated based on evidence adequacy assessments and known risk evaluations, and thus the safety was rated as grade A, indicating that its risk is controllable, its safety is good, and there is sufficient evidence to confirm its safety. The evidence of effectiveness came from the results of Meta-analysis, which showed that Binghuang Fule Ointment + conventional treatment/Binghuang Fule Ointment vs conventional treatment had better clinical effective effect, and the effectiveness was rated as grade A. The economic evaluation, integrating evidence value and evidence quality results, thus the economy was rated as grade B. Innovation was evaluated based on three primary indexes and 18 secondary indexes, with Binghuang Fule Ointment's innovation rated as grade B, indicating a good level of innovation. Suitability was assessed through a questionnaire survey and Chinese patent medicine information service data, and Binghuang Fule Ointment's suitability was rated as grade B, indicating good suitability. Accessibility was assessed based on the proportion of Binghuang Fule Ointment's daily cost relative to the median disposable income of urban and rural residents. The proportion was only 0.05% in urban residents' median disposable income, and 0.14% in rural residents' median disposable income. Accessibility was rated as grade B, reflecting good accessibility. Binghuang Fule Ointment was prescribed by a senior Tibetan doctor with many years of clinical experience at the People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region. Its traditional Chinese medicine characteristics were rated as grade B. Based on the results from the "6+1" evaluation dimensions, the comprehensive value score of Binghuang Fule Ointment was calculated using CSC v2.0 software, yielding a score of 0.79, which corresponds to a class A, indicating good clinical value.
