The aims of this paper were to describe the geographical variation in Pap smear screening rates, standardised for age and adjusted for rates of hysterectomies and to assess the sociodemographic and health care factors associated with the variation. The data used in the study were the percentage of women who had had Pap smears between the years 1990 and 1992 based on the records of the Australian Health Insurance Commission (HIC). The best predictors of screening extracted from the model were the Index of Economic Resources and the proportion of women within each region who were born in non-English speaking countries.
本文的目的是描述经年龄标准化并针对子宫切除率进行调整后的巴氏涂片筛查率的地理差异，并评估与该差异相关的社会人口统计学和医疗保健因素。该研究中使用的数据是基于澳大利亚健康保险委员会（HIC）的记录得出的1990年至1992年间进行巴氏涂片检查的女性百分比。从模型中提取的筛查最佳预测指标是经济资源指数以及每个地区出生于非英语国家的女性比例。
