Abstract: Objective To summarize the incidence of colonic polyps in Tai'an, and to clarify the correlation among the pathogenic features, pathogenic factors, TCM syndrome types, TCM constitution and pathological types of colonic polyps. Methods Through a retrospective survey, we collected the information about TCM constitution, TCM syndrome types, pathological types and risk factors of hospitalized patients with colon polyps diagnosed in the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases, Tai’an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shandong Province from March to October 2022. The statistical software SPSS 24.0 was used to analyze the distribution of TCM constitution, TCM syndrome types, pathological types and risk factors of colon polyps in Tai’an area. Results The patients with colonic polyps in Tai’an area are mostly male, smoking, drinking, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and people with high body mass index. The age range of the patients is 50~59 years old. The TCM syndrome types are mainly liver qi stagnation, large intestine damp heat, spleen stomach qi deficiency, and the TCM constitution is mainly phlegm dampness, qi stagnation, and qi deficiency. The multiple Logistic regression analysis of myocardial infarction showed that triglyceride was correlated with liver qi stagnation syndrome (OR=0.478, 95%CI: 0.238~0.959), and triglyceride was correlated with liver qi stagnation syndrome (OR=0.139, 95%CI: 0.050~0.388). Conclusion The occurrence and development of colonic polyps in Tai'an area is closely related to gender, age, smoking, drinking, high cholesterol, high triglyceride, body mass index, TCM syndrome type, and TCM constitution. To do the colonoscopy timely is helpful to reduce the incidence and mortality of colonic polyps and colon cancer for those people who combined with the above risk factors.
