To test the hypothesis that absence of squamous cells in cervical smears obtained by an endocervical sampling technique is more prominent in patients with a cervical ectropion.
Prospective study exploring the relation between the composition of cervical smears obtained using an endocervical cotton swab in patients with (n = 188) and without (n = 341) a cervical ectropion. Subjects were 529 consecutive patients from whom a cervical smear was prepared at a university gynaecological clinic.
In 7% of the endocervical samples no squamous cells were found. There was no correlation, however, between the presence or the size of an ectropion and the absence of squamous cells in those samples.
It was confirmed that endocervical sampling alone is insufficient to obtain good quality cervical smears. The presence of an ectropion proved to be an unreliable predictor of the absence of squamous cells.
检验如下假设,即通过宫颈管取样技术获取的宫颈涂片缺乏鳞状细胞,这一情况在宫颈外翻患者中更为显著。
前瞻性研究,探讨宫颈外翻患者(n = 188)和无宫颈外翻患者(n = 341)使用宫颈管棉拭子获取的宫颈涂片成分之间的关系。研究对象为529例连续的患者,在大学妇科门诊为其制备宫颈涂片。
在7%的宫颈管样本中未发现鳞状细胞。然而,外翻的存在与否或大小与这些样本中鳞状细胞的缺失之间并无关联。
已证实仅宫颈管取样不足以获得高质量的宫颈涂片。宫颈外翻的存在被证明是鳞状细胞缺失的不可靠预测指标。
