AbstractThe aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of Qingfei Paidu granules (QFPG) combined with non-drug therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating patients with asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019). A total of 450 patients admitted to the wards of Chongming Changxing Island isolation site from April 1 to 18, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 groups according to the treatment that they received. W1 was not treated (control group), and W2 was given QFPG (TCM treatment), W3 (TCM combined with TCM non-drug therapy) was treated with QFPG, five-element music therapy and Gong. We retrospectively analyzed the medical history data, including general information, time of first turning negative, length of hospital stays, number of cases classified as mild or ordinary, number of cases with adverse events/adverse reactions. The conversion to negative time of the 3 groups was 6.50, 4.40, and 3.81 days, respectively, and there were significant differences among the 3 groups (P < .001). The hospital duration in the 3 groups was 8.45, 5.72, and 5.53 days, respectively, and there were significant differences among the 3 groups (P < .001). The number of adverse events W1 (5/150, 3.3%), W2 (8/150, 5.3%), and W3 (4/150, 2.7%) was consistent among the 3 groups (P > .05). QFPG with TCM non-drug therapy is effective in patients with asymptomatic COVID-2019, which can effectively shorten the time to double negative and reduce the proportion of patients with mild disease.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
