Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of clinical pathway in surgical treatment for patients with mandibular fracture.Methods 80 patients with mandibular fracture were randomly divided into the conventional therapy group(the control group) (n =40） and the clinical pathway therapy group (CP group) (n =40).The hospitalization time,medical expenses,satisfaction for the treatment,health awareness,and incidence of complications were compared between two groups.Results The results of hospitalization time,medical expenses,satisfaction for the treatment,and health awareness of the CP group were (11.86 ± 3.05) d,(9 115.43 ± 1 689.84) yuan,(91.19 ± 1.02) ％,(95.18 ±4.11)points,respectively,which were significantly better than those of the control group [(17.53 ± 2.98)d,(12 066.75 ±2 513.22)yuan,(89.39 ±1.35)％,(82.83 ± 6.56) points] (t =8.41,6.16,6.73,10.01,all P ＜0.05).The complication rate of the two groups was 2.5％,7.5％,respectively,which had no significant differences (χ2 =0.26,P ＞ 0.05).Concltsion The clinical pathway for mandibular fracture surgery is worthy of promotion.
