["Multiphase screening" in big industrial city].

Reported in this paper are results obtained from a scheme of computer-backed multiphase screening which has been conducted, with reference to a programme of WHO, for early detection of precursor and early phases of cervical carcinoma and for early detection of patients with hypertension. Evaluation included 54,088 prophylactic examinations through four and a half years. Notifiable diseases of the uterine cervix were recorded from 4.8% of all probands. Among them were 44 cases of severe dysplasia, 156 cases of in situ carcinoma, and 62 cases of invasive cervical carcinoma -- Complementary findings were obtained from 11.8 per cent of the cases. Clinical treatment of patients for such complementary findings were required by more than one in 100 women examined. Another 28 carcinomas were diagnosed and treated, in that context. -- Only 54,020 data were evaluated, in the context of the hypertension screening programme. Hypertension, originally unknown in more than 50 per cent of all cases, was recorded from 19.4 per cent of these women. At total of 16,714 women (42.2 per cent), aged between 20 and 49 years, was on hormonal contraceptives, and hypertension had grown manifest in 12.2 per cent of these.
