Core Tip	We utilized a big-data process and application platform for exploring the value of a clinical pathway (CP) implementation in patients with common bile duct stones undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Univariate and multivariable regression/linear modeling were developed to compare the outcomes between the patients in non-pathway and CP groups. Our findings demonstrated that a CP is a safe mode to reduce the length of hospital stay, hospital costs, antibiotics use and complication rate. The present study provides big-data evidence for clinical standardization of CPs.
