Abstract
In this study, we propose a new order selection method for clinical pathway development in acute appendectomy. This method is based on the lift concept which is popular in association rule discovery and, starting from the orders with more frequencies, sequentially removes the negatively associated orders which have lift values somewhat less than one. The orders in acute appendectomy we consider in this study are test and medical treatment items respectively, and since there are different order patterns before, during, and after operation, three different order selections are made for each. The selection results are somewhat different from those selected only by the order of more frequencies. Specifically, the selection results of two methods are different in 1 or 2 orders for medical treatment items and in maximum 5 orders for test items, respectively.
