Core Tip	Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is a first-line treatment for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). In China, PERT is not yet listed on the national essential medicine list, which is often a pre-requisite for patients in China to gain access to life-saving treatments. Chinese health policy has an increased emphasis on cost-effectiveness analysis as a prerequisite for drug reimbursement. This analysis undertakes a cost-effectiveness analysis on PERT for the treatment of PEI from a Chinese societal perspective, finding that PERT is cost-effective for the treatment of PEI in China.
