Results. The differences in the average hospitalization expense and medicine expense of patients with nodular goiter, between the clinical pathway group and the traditional group, were not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the auxiliary examination expense in the clinical pathway group was significantly decreased (P < 0.001); the differences in the average auxiliary examination expense for patients with simple appendicitis between the two groups were not statisticall...
