The effects of the screening programme for cancer of the uterine cervix in Great Britain are disputed, and the subject has been underexplored. Accordingly, we have related routinely available data on screening effort in Scotland, Wales, and the 14 English Health Regions to various incidence and mortality outcome measures, from 1967 to the present day. Although such an approach is imperfect, the results support the belief that the screening programme has been largely unsuccessful.
英国子宫颈癌筛查计划的效果存在争议,且该主题尚未得到充分研究。因此,我们将苏格兰、威尔士以及英格兰14个卫生区域常规可得的筛查工作数据与1967年至今的各种发病率和死亡率结果指标进行了关联分析。尽管这种方法并不完美,但结果支持了筛查计划在很大程度上并不成功这一观点。
