Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the selection of new edition of Essential Medicine List by quantitative com-prehensive evaluation for additional essential medicine. METHODS:The evaluation factors were established according to Delphi method,and Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)was conducted to compare the factors in pairs,construct the judgment matrix,cal-culate the weight coefficients of every factor and do the consistency test. RESULTS:The evaluation model was composed of 6 first-class indexes(including effectiveness,safety,stability,availability,affordability and adaptability)and 24 second-class index-es,and the weight of each index to the target layer was calculated. Among them,the weight of validity and security is the top two. CONCLUSIONS:The weight coefficient can be determined scientifically and reasonably by AHP,and the reliability and operability of the evaluation index system can be improved. It is a useful attempt to explore the selection system of additional essential medi-cine.
