How did the authors study this?
The researchers divided 100 patients with subacute eczema into two equal groups of 50 patients each. One group received only compound glycyrrhizin, while the other group received both compound glycyrrhizin and desloratadine citrate. They measured inflammatory markers and tracked adverse reactions.
-
What populations did the authors study?
The study included 100 patients with subacute eczema who were admitted to the hospital between June 2019 and June 2020. No other specific population characteristics were mentioned.

What did the authors find?
The group receiving the combination treatment showed lower levels of inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-4) compared to the control group. The combination treatment group also had fewer adverse reactions and a higher overall effectiveness rate.
-
What conclusions can we draw?
The authors concluded that combining desloratadine citrate with compound glycyrrhizin might be a better option for treating subacute eczema than using compound glycyrrhizin alone.
