Abstract

Objective The study aimed to evaluate the application effect of clinical pathways in la-paroscopic cholecystectomy patients by using the meta-analysis. Methods Published randomized controlled trials (RCT) about laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients were searched and screened in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Scientific Journal Database by VIP, Wanfang Database under present stan-dards. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by certain standards. The Review Manager 5.2 software was used for analysis. Results Totally 29 studies including 5 570 cases were eligible to the criteria (2 753 in the experimental group and 2 853 in the control group) altogether. The meta-analysis showed that the hospital-ization time and hospitalization costs in the clinical nursing pathway group were significantly less than those of the control group (SMD=-1.69 and -3.75), the satisfaction degree and the mastering of health knowledge in the clinical nursing pathway group were significantly higher than those of the control group (RR=1.16 and 1.26), the differece had statistical significance. Conclusions Application effect of clinical nursing pathways is superior to the traditional nursing method in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.
