A scoring system is presented for selection of essential drugs, using criteria of efficacy, safety, cost of a course of therapy, compliance, multiple usage and storage, ease of administration and local availability. Such a system allows for different weighting of factors whose relative importance varies from country to country and would help in choosing the most appropriate and cost-effective drugs for use in developing countries. The importance of such factors as cost and compliance has been illustrated with suitable examples. This approach could also be used for individual patient decisions with the aid of a computer program.
本文提出了一种基本药物遴选评分系统，该系统采用疗效、安全性、疗程费用、依从性、多种用途及储存、给药便利性和本地可获得性等标准。这样的系统能够对不同因素进行不同加权，因为这些因素的相对重要性因国家而异，并且有助于在发展中国家选择最合适且具有成本效益的药物。成本和依从性等因素的重要性已通过适当示例进行了说明。借助计算机程序，这种方法也可用于个体患者的决策。
