Colposcopic Evaluation of Cervical Lesions with Swede Score and its Correlation with Histopathology

Background & Objectives: Cervical cancer is the second most frequent in India, with an estimated yearly diagnosis of 1, 23,907 women and 77,348 fatalities. The prevalence cervical remains high poorer nations owing to budget constraints a lack access healthcare. By evaluating lesions colposcopically, this study sought determine validity Swede score.
 Methods: cross-sectional analytical lasted two years, from July 2019 2021, at Krishna Institute Medical Sciences, Karad. 162 who met selection criteria underwent colposcopy after informed consent. suspicious site was biopsied submitted for histopathology. score subsequently validated using histopathology.
 Results: With 5 as cut-off, 108 (97.30 %) 111 patients <5 had normal or low-grade lesion, while just 3 (2.70 grade lesion. 51 greater than 5, 15 (12.20%) lesion 36 (92.30%) high-grade lesion.
 Using 8 123 (87.90%) 140 whereas 17 (12.1%) There were all 22 >8.
 Interpretation Conclusions: test group cut-off exhibited sensitivity 92.31 % specificity 87.80 gold standard Comparing group's histopathology yielded 56.41% 100%.
