Le résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: To identify key elements for screening kidney deficiency pattern (KDP) through a systematic review and Delphi methodology to detect high-risk KDP groups. METHODS: We first conducted a systematic review to extract kidney system patterns and then performed four rounds of the Delphi. After the third round, two face-to-face consensus meetings were held to finalize the consensus. The English version of the KDP Screening Questionnaire (KDPScreenQ) was developed through agreement between a bilingual physician and the research team. RESULTS: include aversion to cold; edema; early morning diarrhea; and loose stools. CONCLUSION: The KDPScreenQ is a fundamental tool for standardizing KDP differentiation, serving both to screen patients with KDP and to track their long-term prognosis. This questionnaire will next be used in a prospective observational study to determine cut-off values.
