Patients were allocated into HQC and non-HQC groups. Baseline data between the two groups were matched with propensity score matching (PSM). Influencing factors for the risk of re-admission in AS patients were analyzed with the Cox proportional hazards model. The effect of HQC intervention duration on the risk of re-admission was assessed with Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The random walk model and association rule analysis were utilized to determine the correlation between HQC and improvements in immunoinflammatory markers.Results: The re-admission rate was significantly lower in the HQC group than in the non-HQC group (P < 0.01). The risk of re-admission was significantly lower in patients aged > 40 years (P < 0.01) than in patients aged < 40 years and also markedly lower in HQC users than in non-HQC users (P < 0.01), suggesting that age and the use of HQC were key factors influencing the risk of re-admission. Longer HQC intervention duration was associated with better improvements in ESR, CRP, and C4, and HQC was closely correlated with improvements in ESR, CRP, IgA, and C4.Conclusion: HQC treatment can reduce the risk of re-admission in AS patients, which may be associated with improvements in ESR, CRP, IgA, and C4. The risk decreases with prolonged HQC treatment.Keywords: Huangqin Qingre Chubi Capsule, ankylosing spondylitis, re-admission, cohort study, telephone follow-up |
