The evaluation of Cervical Smear Results Assessed by ThinPrep and Conventional Methods

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate cervical smear results according to years and patient age. We investigated the abnormal outcome rates and distribution to determine whether there is any difference in smear results according to the examination method used and to contribute to the epidemiological data of our country. Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cervical smear test results of the patients who were admitted to gynecology outpatient clinic of ？i？li Memorial Hospital between June 2010 and December 2014. 32.617 patients aged 21-65 years were included in our study. Results: The pathology result was determined to be normal in 29.831 patients (91.5%). ASCUS, ASC-H and AGC were detected in 1.713 (5.25%), 135 (0.4%) and 21 (0.06%) patients respectively. LSIL was detected in 767 cases (2.35%), HSIL in 131 cases (0.4%), adeno cancer in three cases and squamous cancer in two cases. When all the cases were evaluated, the rate of abnormal results was found to be 8.5%. LSIL (35.9 ± 8.0 years) and HSIL (34.4 ± 7.2 years) were detected at significantly younger ages. Conclusion: In our study, we detected an increase in the prevalence of precancerous lesions in years by ThinPrep method
