[Abstract]
Objective To study the design elements of randomized controlled trials for acute bronchitis in children, to provide reference and guidance for the standardized design of clinical trials combining disease and syndrome, and to improve the feasibility of comparing the results of different trials. At the same time, it provides a literature basis for the development of the standardization project of Chinese society of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)——"technical guide for clinical trial design and evaluation of Chinese medicine in children with acute bronchitis". Methods Through literature research, CNKI, VIP, CMB, Wanfang Data, China Clinical Trial Registry, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials database were systematically searched Chinese and English literature on randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of pediatric acute bronchitis from 1999 to 2020 were collected. Data were extracted, analyzed and summarized from the literature that met the inclusion criteria, and the main technical factors for clinical trial design and evaluation of pediatric acute bronchitis were extracted. Results 1 542 articles were retrieved, and finally 19 articles were included, including 17 in Chinese and two in English. According to the target orientation, the main purpose of 17 (89.47%) studies was to improve the disease/symptoms, one (5.26%) to shorten the course of disease, and one (5.26%) to improve TCM syndromes. The overall design of the trial was randomized. All studies were double-blind in 14 (73.68%), 1 (5.26%) only mentioned the use of blind method, and the other four did not mention blind design (21.05%). There were 14 positive drug controls (73.68%), five placebo controls (26.32%), 17 multicenter studies (89.47%), four estimated sample sizes (21.05%), 15 difference test designs (78.95%), three non-inferiority test designs (15.79%) and one superiority test (5.26%). Among all the studies, 16 (84.21%) had clear diagnostic criteria of western medicine and 16 (84.21%) had clear criteria of diagnosis and syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, while 16 (84.21%) excluded standard descriptions. Among the 19 included studies, intervention measures included 16 cases of Chinese patent medicine therapy (84.21%), 1 case of combined application of Chinese and Western medicine (5.26%), two cases of plant medicine (10.53%), and one case of basic treatment design (5.26%). There was no initiation period for all 19 studies. One follow-up study (5.26%) was designed, and the follow-up time was three to seven days. The course of treatment is five to seven days, mainly for five days. Effectiveness evaluation, among 19 studies, 13 (68.42%) took disease response rate/recovery rate, BSS or BPS-PED as the main evaluation indexes, and three (15.79%) took cough, expectoration, shortness of breath/wheezing or pulmonary signs score as the main evaluation indexes. There was one (5.26%) cough symptom integral and time (days) area under the curve (AUC) as the main evaluation index, one (5.26%) TCM syndrome effective rate as the main evaluation index, and one (5.26%) time of the main symptoms (cough and expectoration) basically disappeared as the main evaluation index. Safety evaluation, 19 studies have safety index design; two studies (10.53%) mentioned test quality control; in all studies, there are only two ethical batch numbers (10.53%). Conclusion The literature included in this study is of high quality and complete information. The research results cover the main technical elements for the design and evaluation of clinical trials of acute bronchitis in children, the key links and common problems in the trial design of Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of pediatric acute bronchitis were analyzed and summarized, which has a high reference value and provides feasibility for the results comparison and systematic evaluation among different literatures.
