PURPOSE: To verify whether women with atypias of undetermined significance and precursor lesions or invasive cervical
outcomes were referred to Medium Complexity Units (MCU) following the guidelines recommended by the Brazilian Ministry
of Health. METHODS: Retrospective study based on the cytopathological outcomes of users of the Unified Health System, seen
at Basic Health Assistance Units (BHAU) and referred to MCUs in the municipality of Goiânia, state of Goiás, from 2005
to 2006. We assessed 832 records according to the recommendations of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, as established
by the Brazilian Nomenclature for Cervical Cytopathologic Outcomes and Recommended Clinical Practice. To check the
distribution of variables such as reasons for referral, results of colposcopy and histopathology and clinical procedures we
calculated absolute and relative frequencies, mean, minimum and maximum values. RESULTS: We understood 72.7% of the
referrals were not in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health. There were 605 women with test results
classified as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, possibly non-neoplasms, and squamous intraepithelial lesion
of low level which were sent to MCU, and of these 71.8% were submitted to colposcopy, and 64.7% had histopathological
examination which results were classified as 31.0% with non-neoplasms and 44.6% as NIC I. Out of 211 women with results
classified as more severe squamous lesions, 86.3% were submitted to colposcopy and 68.7% of these had histopathological
examinations. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study revealed high rates of inappropriate referrals to MCU, which required
a high percentage of unnecessary procedures. The recommendations of the Ministry of Health were followed by BHAU and
the majority of women received counseling/treatment as recommended.
