Cost effectiveness of rescreening cervicovaginal smears.
Although cytology laboratories are mandated to rescreen at least 10% of cervicovaginal smears, there is no uniform national rescreening practice. Follow-up data for 16,188 rescreened cervicovaginal smears were studied and decision analysis was performed to determine an optimal rescreening strategy. High-grade dysplasia was detected in 0.40% of women with a history of cervical disease and in 0.0...
متن کاملPAPNET-assisted rescreening of cervical smears: cost and accuracy compared with a 100% manual rescreening strategy.
CONTEXT The Food and Drug Administration has recently approved several devices that use computerized image analysis to rescreen Papanicolaou (Pap) smears that have already been examined by cytotechnologists. Physicians and laboratories must decide whether the utility of these devices justifies the cost. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness and cost of PAPNET-assisted rescreening in identi...

STUDY DESIGN Using a model adapted from one developed under contract from the United States Congress Office of Technology Assessment to evaluate cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer screening in elderl...
متن کاملSignificance of endometrial cells in cervicovaginal smears.
A study was undertaken to determine the significance of finding normal endometrial cells in routine cervicovaginal smears. The results indicate that the presence of normal endometrial cells in cervicovaginal smears in patients under 40 is generally not of significance, but similar findings in older patients correlate significantly with pathologic changes in the endometrium. In the older age gro...
متن کاملCervicovaginal flora. Comparison of conventional pap smears and a liquid-based thin-layer preparation.
We compared the effectiveness of SurePath (TriPath Imaging, Burlington, NC) with that of conventional Papanicolaou smears (CP) to demonstrate microorganisms in cervicovaginal smears. Samples from 904 randomly selected cases were examined at the Medical Center of Louisiana clinics for 2 years--the year before and the year after the implementation of SurePath. One observer reviewed the CP and Sur...
