“…We studied 1,000 patients with abnormal Pap smear results in Kowsar Academic Hospital (Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in Qazvin, Iran) from April 2007 to March 2018. With longer duration and the larger number of participants compared with previous studies, the results of current study could be more reliable than other similar researches (15,16,22).…”

Scan to discover onlineBackground & Objective: Premalignant lesions of cervix have increased dramatically in recent years. Early diagnosis and management of abnormalities have an effective role in preventing the invasion of the disease and also in timely treatment. This study aimed to compare diagnostic methods in the detection of squamous cell abnormalities with abnormal Pap smear test. Methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on 1000 women with abnormal Pap smears in 2007-2018. Sampling was performed with simple method. All samples were subjected to an immediate assessment of colposcopy and histopathology if suspected. The checklist included demographic information as well as symptoms, cytopathology, colposcopy and histopathology findings. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and statistical analysis (P<0.05).Results: A significant relationship between histopathology and Pap smear findings was found (P=0.009), also there was a significant correlation between histopathology and colposcopy findings (P=0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between clinical symptoms and histopathology findings (p=0.8). Sensitivity , specificity , positive and negative predictive value of Pap smear were 43%, 65.9%, 75.4%, 32.2% and of colposcopy were 74.7%, 39.5%, 75%, 39.1%, and of clinical symptoms were 72.6%, 28.1%, 71.1%, 29.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Pap smear findings have the appropriate diagnostic accuracy in comparison with colposcopy and histopathology findings for screening and diagnosis of squamous intra-epithelial lesions. Also, there was higher sensitivity of colposcopy compared with Pap smear to detect cervical lesions. Therefore, it is advisable to use these methods simultaneously. Main Subjects:Cytology

Risk of development of cervical carcinoma has been identified in patients with abnormal cytology on Pap smear. A long duration of prior to development of invasive cervical carcinoma is governed by a precancerous lesion. Consequently, screening and proper treatment reduces the overall risk of cervical carcinoma. Objective: Aim of study was to identify the frequency of abnormal cervical cytology detected by Papanicolaou smear in married child bearing female presenting with bleeding following coitus. Methods: A Descriptive, Cross-sectional study was carried from 15th November 2021 to 31st May 2022 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jinnah Post graduate Medical Centre, Karachi. A total of 218 females of reproductive age group (18-50 years) presenting with post-coital bleeding were included. Patients with previously histo pathological diagnosis, ablative or excisional treatment modalities of cervix and trauma to genital tract were excluded. All cases underwent Pap smear testing with standard technique by utilization of Ayre's spatula and were fixated with 95% ethanol on microscopic slides. Two specimens were prepared for each patient and were assessed for abnormalities. Results: Patients encountered were between 18 to 50 years with mean of 32.20 ± 7.80 years. Majority (139; 67.43%) of the patients were between 18 to 35 years. Mean parity was 3.53 ± 1.51. Mean BMI was 29.12 ± 2.37 kg/m2. Frequency of abnormal cervical cytology was found in 37 (16.97%). Conclusions: This study concluded that Pap smear is an easy, effective and a cheap method for detecting women with cervical pathology.
