Clinical Details

Official title: Assessing the Effectiveness of Integrative Treatment That Combines Interior and Exterior Treatment Plans in Pediatric Pneumonia: a Program by the Special Scientific Research Fund of Public Welfare Profession of China

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Cured rate (clinical symptoms and signs totally disappear, the period of lab tests return to normal is recorded)

effective time window (days range from treatment is received to the effectiveness is observed, and symptoms disappear)

Secondary outcome:

effect in treating fever

effect in dyspnea releasing

effect in phlegm releasing

effect in cough releasing

time from admission to recovery of rales

TCM syndrome scores

effective rate of TCM syndrome scores

check-out time (days counted when the patient checks out)

pulmonary disease incidence (prolonged pneumonia, chronic cough, cough variant asthma incidence in the follow-up)

safety (With adverse events as the calculation basis)

Detailed description: The block randomization is used in this trial. Random numbers are generated by statistical analysis system(SAS) software. Statistical analysis staff and those who perform the follow-up are blinded. Sample size calculation was performed, which was 1164 , and considering drop-out or withdrawal, investigators plan to enroll 1500 patients (500 in experimental group 1, 500 in experimental group 2, 500 in experimental group 3).
