Results As the outcomes of the patients had no signifi?cant difference between the traditional pathway therapy and the clinical pathway therapy the average hospitalization days and medical expense were reduced when the patients were treated by the clinical pathway. The average hospitalization days were re?duced to 12 days from 14 days. The average medical expense was reduced to RMB 5 800 form RMB 6 400. The average rate of awareness about the disease and the satisfaction rate of the patients were raised to 95% in the patients treated by the clinical pathway. The results of t test for the three indicators above mentioned showed significant differences between the two therapies all P<0.05 .
