In a practice in an industrial area a cervical cytology service was offered to women, and in the years 1967-70 280 cervical smears were carried out. In 1971 all women born between 1 January 1920 and 31 December 1935 who had not had a cervical smear taken in the preceding four years were sent a letter explaining the service and inviting them to attend. Those who did not attend received a second letter and, if necessary, a visit by a nurse in an effort to persuade them to do so.Eventually 88.4% of the women in this age group who could be traced attended, and 16 abnormal cervical smears were reported. As a result of cone biopsy 12 women were found to have carcinoma in situ.
在一个工业区的医疗机构为女性提供宫颈细胞学检查服务,1967年至1970年期间共进行了280次宫颈涂片检查。1971年,所有在1920年1月1日至1935年12月31日之间出生且在过去四年内未进行过宫颈涂片检查的女性都收到了一封信,信中解释了该项服务并邀请她们前来。未前来的女性收到了第二封信,如有必要,护士还会上门拜访,试图说服她们前来。最终,这个年龄组中能够联系到的女性有88.4%前来就诊,报告了16例异常宫颈涂片。经锥形活检,发现12名女性患有原位癌。
