However, the prescription pattern of Chinese herbal formulae (CHF) for treating neurocognitive or behavioral disorders in patients with dementia has not been elucidated. This large-scale survey aimed is to evaluate core patterns of CHF and drug–herb concurrent use in patients with dementia. We analyzed patients with a diagnosis of dementia from one million cohorts of the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in the National Health Insurance Research Database, between 1997 and 2008. Of 18,141 newly diagnosed dementia patients, 3471 patients received CHF for mental and nervous system diseases. There were 13,254 outpatient visits, with 60,968 formulae prescriptions. We calculate the frequency and proportion of combined use, identify drug–herb concurrent usage, and determine core prescription patterns. Also, we drew network graphs of co-prescription pairs which occurred more than 200 times. Chinese medicine prescription patterns changed as dementia progressed. During the first 3 years after the diagnosis of dementia, Jia-Wei-Xiao-Yao-San, Gan-Mai-Da-Zao-Tang, and Ban-Xia-Bai-Zhu-Tian-Ma-Tang were the core CHF prescribed for mental and nervous system disorders. However, during the later stages of dementia, Suan-Zao-Ren-Tang, Gui-Pi-Tang, Jia-Wei-Xiao-Yao-San, and Wen-Dan-Tang were the core CHF prescribed. Benzodiazepines were the most common sedative drugs combined with traditional Chinese formulae. The results of this study suggest that TCM prescription were different in various stages of dementia, and indicated the frequently combined use of the TCM formulae and Benzodiazepines in dementia care. 關聯 Medicine, Vol.4, No.98, pp.1-8 資料類型 article DOI https://doi.org/10.1097/MD.0000000000013931 dc.contributor 應數系 dc.creator (作者) 曾正男 dc.creator (作者) Tzeng, Jeng-Nan dc.creator (作者) 林舜榖 dc.creator (作者) Lin, Shun-Ku dc.creator (作者) 賴榮年* dc.creator (作者) Lai, Jung-Nie dc.date (日期) 2019-01 dc.date.accessioned 6-Mar-2020 15:28:12 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 6-Mar-2020 15:28:12 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 6-Mar-2020 15:28:12 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/129133 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) More than 40% dementia patients received traditional Chinese Medicine treatment.
