The effect of HPV analysis on the ASC/SIL ratio which is one of the quality control criteria for PAP smears

Objective: The high number of smear tests has a workload on pathologists/cytopathologists, which raises the concern for quality diagnoses. application high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) analyses with PAP begun to contribute clinical practice. In this study, we aimed show effect hr-HPV analysis results via atypical squamous cell/squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC/SIL) ratio standards. Material and Methods: A total 12799 cervical cytology reports, between 2014-2016, from Pathology Department Marmara University Hospital, were included. Between November 2014 May 2016, was performed 4307 cases Hologic Aptima HPV™, USA. Smear diagnoses before after start HPV test recorded. Results: diagnoses, during when screening not performed, were: negative or malignancy (NILM) 99.4%, cells undetermined significance (ASCUS) 0.6%, low-grade (LSIL) 0.2%, ASC-H 0.04%, high-grade (HSIL) 0.13%. that evaluated as follows: NILM 93.67%, ASCUS 2.31%, LSIL 2.82%, 0.3%, HSIL 0.91%. ASC/SIL been dropped 1.9 0.7 initiation use. Conclusion: During period without analysis, 1.9. Later decreased 0.7. This shows knowing affects improves laboratory
