Analysis of cervical cancer screening in female medical staff

Abstract

Objective To understand the characteristics of cervix diseases in female medical staff and provide basis for effective prevention and control.Methods The results of cervical cancer screening in 1 471 female medical staff in our hospitals in 2008 were compared with the 1 706 ones in 2010.Results Morbidity rates of various cervix diseases were 37.9％ (558/1 471) in 2008 and 50.6％ (864/1 706) in 2010,respectively.Most of them were diagnosed with chronic cervicitis (36.8％ in 2008 and 47.1％ in 2010).The difference of positive rate of screening test (TCT results ≥ASC-US) was significant between those in 2008( 1.1％,16/1 471 )and those in 2010(3.7％,63/1 706) ( x2 =12.65,P ＜ 0.01 ).The results also showed that the incidences of various cervix diseases were related to age,and that high rates of cervicitis and cervical cancer were observed in the middle-aged (35 -50 years old).Conclusions Positive rates of cervical cancer screening test tend to rise,and the health condition of the middle-aged women (35 -50 years old) should be paid particular attention.
