    Abstract:
    To investigate the clinical characteristics and the rule of administration of Ciwujia Injection in patients with cardiovascular disease by correlation analysis and frequency analysis. The information of 5 904 patients who used Ciwujia Injection to treat cardiovascular disease for at least three times in the hospital information system(HIS) of 19 comprehensive tertiary hospitals nationwide. The frequency analysis method was used to analyze the higher frequency variables, and the algorithm of Apriori correlation analysis method was used to analyze the clinical characteristics and medication laws of Ciwujia Injection in treating patients with cardiovascular disease. Among the 5 904 patients, the median age of the patients was 70 years, and the number of patients between 65-75 years old was up to 2 096(35.5%). There were more women than men in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and the women at age of 45-65 and 65-75 years old were more than men. The top three diagnoses by Western medicine were coronary heart disease in 8 104 cases(65.66%), dyslipidemia in 2 515 cases(20.38%), and cardiac function grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ in 581 cases(4.71%), while the largest number of syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) at discharge was 1 109(21.37%) in other type, followed by 739 cases(14.24%) of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, and 698(13.46%) of liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome. The most frequently used Western medicine in combined use was Nifedipine in 2 567 cases(7.21%), and most frequently used TCM was Compound Xianzhuli Liquid leachate in 766 cases(3.53%). From the results of pharmacological analysis, the frequency of using Ciwujia Injection + stasi-seliminating agent + calcium channel blocking drugs was highest when using 1 Chinese medicine combined with 1 or 2 Western medicines. In the use of 2 Chinese medicines combined with 1 Western medicine, Ciwujia Injection + heat-clearing agent + stasis-eliminating agent + calcium channel blocker was the most common. This study demonstrated that Ciwujia Injection was more common in middle-aged and elderly patients and more in women than men. Treatment should be based on different cardiovascular disease treatment guidelines to reduce complications caused by underlying diseases, and attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of cardio-vascular disease risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and abnormal lipid metabolism. According to the analysis of frequency distribution and association rules, it was concluded that Ciwujia Injection was mainly used in combination with calcium channel blockers and stasis-eliminating agents in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. In the treatment of cardiovascular diseases by Ciwujia Injection in combination with other Chinese and Western medicines, in order to avoid pharmacological changes and avoid affecting the efficacy of the drug, it is necessary to closely observe whether adverse reactions occur and ensure that the medication is safe and effective. This study provides a good reference for the follow-up clinical guidance of Ciwujia Injection.
