“…21 Conversely, colposcopy would be excessive in 50-75% of the patients. 3,18 In our study, pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of false negative smears. Cytologic false negative rates close to 10% during pregnancy have been published.…”

“…Such cases may represent poorly presented cells derived from more significant abnormalities, and hence rates of SIL on follow-up may range as high as 50%. 14,15 The need for a repeat specimen (after an appropriate interval) or other follow-up should be emphasized in the report. Optimal specimen collection and alternative, liquid-based collection methods may reduce the Communication between clinician and cytologist is especially critical when dealing with AGUS cases.…”

“…Policies for follow-up after finding atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) in cytology vary from repeat cytology [2][3][4] to immediate referral for colposcopy and biopsy [5][6][7][8] . Referral of all women with ASCUS/LSIL in cytology to the colposcopy clinic and the subsequent histological examination yields substantial costs for the health care system 9 and often creates feelings of anxiety and discomfort for the women concerned 10,11 .…”
