| Popis: | Objective: To investigate the association between gastrointestinal heat retention syndrome (GHRS) and adult chronic eczema. Methods: This case–control study compared GHRS/GHRS accompanied by damp-heat syndrome (GHRS-DHS) and other patient characteristics between subjects with (cases) and without chronic eczema (controls) to identify potential factors associated with this condition. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data via face-to-face interviews. Participants were recruited from Dongzhimen Hospital affiliated with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A logistic regression analysis was performed on the collected data, and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. Results: A total of 168 cases and 172 controls were recruited. Among the cases of adult chronic eczema, there were 79 subjects with GHRS and 68 with GHRS-DHS. Sex (P = .02, OR = 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32–0.91), GHRS (P = .04, OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.02–3.51), GHRS-DHS (P |
