Two-stage expert consulting research is conducted in order to set up diagnostic criteria for abnormal hilit matured and removed from body with abnormal savda type tumor with traditional Uighur medicine based on Delphi method. At the first stage, an enquiry form including key syndrome characteristics which were identified by the past research results from our research group is formulated, and then sent to 30 experts who are located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and have rich experience in this field. Round one Delphi technique is conducted at this stage. Then 10 kinds of syndrome characteristics, such as sleeping increasing, doing more dream, nightmare reducing, mental color gradually improving, and having a pair of sparkling eyes are selected as diagnostic criteria for abnormal hilit matured from body with abnormal savda type tumor. And eight kinds of syndrome characteristics, such as mental color significantly improving, moderative mood, sleeping quality significantly improving, tongue fur is damp and closes to the original state, are selected as diagnostic criteria for abnormal hilit removed from body with abnormal savda type tumor in accordance to expert high consensus that frequency is greater than 70% (21 out of 30 experts). At the second stage, a new enquiry form based on screening results of the first stage is formulated, and the weight coefficients of each selected syndrome characteristics are studied, Round two Delphi technique is conducted at this stage and 30 copies of valid questionnaire are responded for each round. Expert authority coefficient is 0.825 on average and is considered to be high authority degree. By analyzing the weight coefficients of each selected syndrome characteristics, five kinds of syndrome characteristics are considered as major symptoms and other five kinds of syndrome characteristics are considered as subsequent symptoms for diagnosing abnormal savda type tumor abnormal hilit already matured or not. Four kinds of major symptoms and other four kinds of subsequent symptoms are selected for diagnosing abnormal savda type tumor abnormal hilit already removed from body or not. Both expert concentration and coordinate degrees are high. The consistency coefficients for abnormal savda type tumor abnormal hilit matured syndrome criteria are (χ2=0.261, P=0.000) and two around are same, for diagnostic criteria for abnormal savda hilit removed from body is (χ2=0.248, P=0.000), and two around are also same. The establishment of diagnostic criteria for abnormal hilit matured and removed from body with abnormal savda type tumor with traditional Uighur medicine based on modified Delphi method would provide an objective and quantitative basis for the effective, standardized diagnosis and treatment of the tumor.
