| Summary: | Abstract Objective To investigate the correlation between simplified classification and laboratory indicators in patients with acute ischemic stroke, also provide accurate evidences for simplified classification and guide clinical interventions and treatment. Methods Two hundred patients with acute ischemic stroke were classified into four types according to the characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome: phlegm‐heat syndrome, phlegm‐dampness syndrome, qi deficiency syndrome, and yin deficiency syndrome. The differences between the types of syndromes and the correlation between laboratory indicators and syndromes were analyzed. Results Among the 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke, there were significant differences in the level of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL‐C) (p < .05) between patients with phlegm‐heat syndrome and other three types. There were significant differences in the levels of homocysteine (HCY) and fibrinogen (Fib) between patients with yin deficiency syndrome and other three types (p < .05). In addition, there were statistically significant differences in blood glucose (Glu), glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c), and total cholesterol (CHO) between phlegm‐heat syndrome and qi deficiency syndrome (p < .05). There were significant differences in the levels of Glu, HBA1c, D‐2 polymer (D‐D), and C‐reactive protein (CRP)s between patients with phlegm‐heat syndrome and phlegm‐dampness syndrome (p < .05). There were statistically significant differences in the levels of CRP and urea nitrogen between patients with yin deficiency syndrome and phlegm‐dampness syndrome and qi deficiency syndrome (p < .05). Conclusions The four‐type simplified classification of Integrated TCM and Western medicine in acute ischemic stroke has specific laboratory data to support. Simplified classification with TCM treatment and intervention of different patients improves the survival and treatment, which is an innovative, easy‐to‐master clinical diagnosis and treatment model.
