Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effect of clinical pathways on single disease management.Methods Clinical controlled trials on tumors of uterine,benign biliary tract diseases and benign thyroid neoplasm were collected and related literatures were screened according to the criteria of inclusion.The literature so collected underwent a Meta analysis.Results A total of 21 literatures were included.Meta analysis indicated that statistical difference existed in the total cost of hospitalization(WMD=1046.06,95％CI:- 1281.15 ～ - 810.96,P＜0.00001) and length of hospital stay (WMD=- 2.18,95％CI:-2.59～- 1.76,P＜0.00001)between non-clinical pathways group and clinical pathways group.Conclusion Implementation of clinical pathways can further reduce hospital costs and shorten hospital days of the single disease management.
