[Introduction of papillomavirus rapid interface for modelling and economics (PRIME) and an example of China's data...

Cervical cancer has become an important disease that jeopardizes women's health, causing hundreds of thousands of new cases annually. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause for cervical cancer. Since the world's first HPV vaccine was licensed in 2006, 92 countries around the world have introduced them in national immunization programs. The WHO recommends that scientific economic evaluation should be achieved before the introduction, but this is more difficult for low-and middle-income countries. Therefore, this article introduces a mathematical model recommended by WHO in 2014 to quickly and easily accomplish economic evaluation of HPV vaccine -the PRIME, and take the China's 2018 data published by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an example. The evaluation result shows that the introduction of HPV vaccine in Chinese 12-year-old women is cost-effective.
