Among them, the end index which could directly be used for evaluation contained a total of 27 indicators.Conclusions The index system is categorized into 4 segments of parameters, which are medical, nutritional, safety and other indices, which has addressed the problem posed by CFDA documents on how to scientifically validate the medical effect and safety of FSMP.
