While the results from our study showed that LHQW has a potentially reduced incidence of adverse reactions in certain diseases and symptoms to a greater extent than conventional treatment, efficacy is an important consideration that should not be overlooked. LHQW had been proven to accelerate the improvement of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) patients, especially for the high-risk subgroup, due to the decreased release of inflammatory mediators including IL-8, TNF- , IL-17, and IL-23 [38]. For pooled studies, the incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the LHQW group than the conventional drug group (RR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.580.69, p < 0.001). Beggs test and Eggers test detected no visible publication bias for data from pooled studies and disease evaluation. Pharmacol. Drug Discov.

Jia and colleagues established a rapid ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS) to analyze the major constituents of LHQW capsule, and the results demonstrated that 12 representative compounds were quantified as chemical marker, including salidroside, chlorogenic acid, forsythoside E, cryptochlorogenic acid, amygdalin, sweroside, hyperin, rutin, forsythoside A, phillyrin, rhein, and glycyrrhizic acid [17]. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a matter of international concern as the disease is spreading exponentially. Two studies reported psychiatric disorders as the adverse reaction. The risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for categorical variables. While LHQW has recently been approved for marketing by CFDA, its safety is yet to be conclusively established. Trials. The trim and fill method was employed in cases where publication bias existed (Duval and Tweedie, 2000). It was found that the total effective rate of LHQW granules combined with abidor treatment (LHQW group) was significantly higher than that of abidor group (80.95 % vs 64.86 %), while the rate of severe illness was markedly lower (14.29 % vs 23.65 %) [44]. Compared with the conventional drug group, the incidence of disease recurrence was lower in the LHQW group, implied that LHQW might could regulate and enhance the immune function of the body. showed that the usual treatment in combination with LHQW capsules (4 capsules thrice daily for 14 days) had significantly higher recovery rate, and shorter median time to symptom recovery, as compared with control group [43]. System-Organ Code Retrieval Involved. Other Symptoms Sputum.Four studies reported the effects of Lianhua Qingwen and those of conventional drugs on the duration of sputum. Clinical effectiveness and case analysis in 54 NCP patients treated with Lanhuaqingwen granules. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease between the LHQW group and the conventional drug group (RR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.221.30, p = 0.165). Vahl. First, the quality of qualified studies was generally medium, randomization procedures and blinding information were lacking in most studies.
