This cross-sectional study aimed to verify the coverage of Pap smear tests and associated factors in a cluster sample of women 20 to 60 years of age in the city of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande Sul State, Brazil, in 2003. Two outcomes were analyzed: Pap smear in the previous three years and Pap smear never performed. Among 867 women, 741 (85.5%; 95%CI: 83.1-87.8) had a Pap smear in the previous three years, 60 (6.9%; 95%CI: 5.2-8.6) were late with the test, and 66 (7.6%; 95%CI: 5.8-9.4) had never done a Pap smear. Poisson regression showed significant association with: income, age, skin color, and marital status. Although coverage was high, risk factors for uterine cervical cancer were not associated with performing the test.
这项横断面研究旨在核实2003年巴西南里奥格兰德州圣莱奥波尔多市20至60岁女性整群样本中巴氏涂片检查的覆盖率及相关因素。分析了两个结果：过去三年的巴氏涂片检查情况以及从未进行过巴氏涂片检查。在867名女性中，741名（85.5%；95%置信区间：83.1 - 87.8）在过去三年进行过巴氏涂片检查，60名（6.9%；95%置信区间：5.2 - 8.6）检查延迟，66名（7.6%；95%置信区间：5.8 - 9.4）从未进行过巴氏涂片检查。泊松回归显示与收入、年龄、肤色和婚姻状况存在显著关联。尽管覆盖率较高，但子宫颈癌的危险因素与进行该项检查并无关联。
