Desempenho da metodologia de revisão rápida de 100% em esfregaços citopatológicos do colo do útero com e sem informações clínicas

Resumo

This study evaluated the performance of the methodology of 100% rapid review on the cervix Pap smears with and without information on clinical risk criteria by using the average time of one and two minutes assays. A total of 5,395 smears were analyzed, and of these 274 were classified as altered and 5,121 as negative after routine examinations. Of negative smears, 958 had clinical risk criteria information, and they were analyzed by rapid review, which identified ten (1.04 %) as altered by the one minute-revision, and nine (0.93) by using a time of two minutes. Analyzing 4,163 negative smears without clinical risk criteria information by rapid review using the times of one and two minutes, 35 (0.84%) were identified as altered in both procedures. The technique of rapid review showed sensitivity of 83% and 75% for the review time of one minute and two minutes, respectively, in smears with available clinical risk criteria information. No difference was found in detecting false-negative smears with and without available clinical risk criteria information. Also, no difference was found in the rapid review performance for detecting false-negative results by employing one to two-minutes techniques.
