To develop a critical pathway for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) diagnosis intended to be efficient, to unify criteria, reduce resource use and minimize costs to the health system.
We performed a systematic search on PubMed, Cochrane, Embase and ClinicalTrials.org databases and classified the quality of evidence from level I through III.
A critical pathway was designed by setting a key-decision step by step model on the basis of the best current evidence.
A critical pathway, evidence-based guideline, may be a useful tool intended to reduce costs while maintaining or even improving the quality of care for diagnosing a highly prevalent pathology such as open angle glaucoma.
制定一种原发性开角型青光眼（POAG）诊断的关键路径，旨在提高效率、统一标准、减少资源使用并将卫生系统成本降至最低。
我们在PubMed、Cochrane、Embase和ClinicalTrials.org数据库上进行了系统检索，并将证据质量从I级到III级进行了分类。
基于当前最佳证据，通过逐步设置关键决策模型设计了一种关键路径。
一种基于证据的指南——关键路径，可能是一种有用的工具，旨在降低成本，同时维持甚至提高对诸如开角型青光眼这种高度常见病症的诊断护理质量。
