“…1 In Colombia, cervical cancer mortality declined rapidly from 27.2% in 1998 to 12.5% in 2013. 2 A study done in Burkina Faso showed that the precancer-lesion rate was 8.9% and only 65.9% of women testing positive received cryotherapy, due to difficulties in tracking referred patients, shortage of supplies, and prohibitive user fees. 3 The mortality pattern of cervical cancer is higher in old than young women and lower among those who have tertiary education.…”

“…3 The mortality pattern of cervical cancer is higher in old than young women and lower among those who have tertiary education. 2 Such risk factors as early sexual debut and multiple sexual partners are important predictors of cervical cancer. 4 "Demand" in this context is the expression of felt need from individuals perceiving a variation from normal health.…”

“…Interest of screening has been shown to be 11% in Kenya, 3.3% in Nigeria, and 63% in Uganda. [5][6][7] However, other research has shown up to 87.3% of participants have at least one cervical cancer screening in their lifetime. 8 The difference in demand for cervical cancer screening is rising not only between countries, but also among geographical regions within a country.…”

Background: Cervical cancer is a public health concern worldwide, and is increasing in developing countries. Despite the efforts of governments, demand for cervical cancer screening is low and not well studied. As such, this study was done to figure out the demand for cervical cancer screening in Tigray regional state. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted, and 1,010 participants were recruited using simple random sampling. Data were collected using an intervieweradministered questionnaire, and analysis was done using multilevel logistic regression. Results: A total of 1,000 women were included in the final analysis. The mean age of participants was 32.57±8.56 years. Those demandeing cervical cancer screening numbered 480 (48%). Intraclass correlation indicated that 18.9% of the total variance in demand was attributable to differences across the cluster districts (p0.0001). Predictors of demand for cervical cancer screening were age 31-40 years (AOR 2.33, 95% CI 0.42-3.83) and 41-45 years (AOR 3.02, 95% CI 1.64-5.55), tertiary education (AOR 2.81, 95% CI 1.43-5.51), history of sexually transmitted disease (AOR 1.71, 95% CI 1.05-2.79), being knowledgeable about cervical cancer, (AOR 9.21, 95% CI 5.79-14.65), and having a positive attitude toward cervical cancer screening (AOR 8.32, 95% CI 5.53-12.51). Among community level variables, community awareness of cervical cancer and population:health institution ratio were factors associated with demand. Conclusion: Demand for cervical cancer screening is low compared to the government's plan for 2020. Health professionals and leaders need to focus on communit-level demand creation for cervical cancer screening by planning health-promotion strategies.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of the certification of general death and cancer in Colombia.Methods: Validity indicators were described for each province and the cities of Bogotá, Cali, Manizales, Pasto and Bucaramanga. A factorial analysis of principal components was carried out in order to identify non-obvious relationships.Results: Were analyzed 984,159 deaths, among them there were 164,542 deaths due to cancer. 93.7% of the general mortality was well certified. The predominant errors were signs, symptoms and ill-defined conditions. 92.8% of cancer mortality was well certified. The predominant errors were due to poorly defined cancer sites.Conclusions: Certification of quality indicators in Colombia has improved. Given the good performance of the quality indicators for certificating general death and cancer, it is considered that this is a valid input for the estimation of cancer incidences.

Background Cervical cancer, albeit preventable, is the second-most deadly gynecological cancer in developing nations. Little is known about cervical cancer among Bangladeshi women. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of cervical cancer screening and demographic correlates to identify potential variabilities in screening rates among different demographic groups and regions. Methods This study used secondary data from the WHO STEPS 2018 Survey. We used Bayesian regression to perform the bivariate analyses between the outcome and each explanatory factor, as it generates more acceptable results and improves parameter estimates. The top-ranked socio-demographic factors were identified using a two-step cluster analysis. This method determines the relevance of predictor variables and automatically establishes the number of clusters. Results The prevalence of Bangladeshi women who had ever been screened for cervical cancer was 6.2%. In the adjusted model, women with the following socio-demographic factors had a higher likelihood of developing cervical cancer: being 18–29 years old (AOR = 3.3, 95% CI: 0.24, 15.27) or 45–59 years old (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.22, 6.0), currently married (AOR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.36, 3.70), and employed (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.40, 4.06). Women in the Barisal division were found to have higher odds of being screened for cervical cancer (AOR = 21, 95% CI: 0.66, 121.97). Cluster analysis found residence status predisposes women to cervical cancer screening. Conclusion There is a significant potential for substantial reductions in the burden of cervical cancer in Bangladesh by strengthening the application of cervical cancer screening. Future studies should examine how socioeconomic status, culture, and healthcare access affect cervical cancer screening trends for different divisions in Bangladesh. An independent national cancer registry is urgently needed to evaluate screening trends and outcomes.
