چکیده

background and objective: the aim of this study was to compare the screening performance of a new modified liquid-based cytology method (liquiprep™) with conventional pap smear (cp) in a low risk population, using colposcopy followed by histology as “gold standard”. patients and methods:  this cross-sectional study was performed on random referred specimens to a general gynecological clinic in tehran, during 20 months by a split-sample method. in both cp and liquiprep™ group, all positive and 10% of negative results of smears were followed by colposcopy. a biopsy was taken whenever any atypical transformation zone seen. sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values (pv), and overall accuracy of both methods were analyzed in relation to histology. results: a total of 1265 patients were analyzed by two methods. in 158 (12.5%) of cases histological diagnosis was made. liquiprep™ samples (94.7%) were more adequate than cp (92.1%). there was not any low or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (sil). atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (asc_us) was diagnosed more with cp than with liquiprep™ (1.43% vs. 0.79%) while pathologically 60% of asc_us in liquiprep™ and 16.6% in cp had degrees of sil. the liquiprep™ had a significantly higher sensitivity (83% vs. 66%) and positive pv (83% vs. 33%) than the cp to detect sil at histology but the difference in specificity was non significant (98% vs. 86%). conclusions: this study confirms the superiority of the liquiprep™ method to detect cervical lesions in a low risk population.

Cervicovaginal flora. Comparison of conventional pap smears and a liquid-based thin-layer preparation.

We compared the effectiveness of SurePath (TriPath Imaging, Burlington, NC) with that of conventional Papanicolaou smears (CP) to demonstrate microorganisms in cervicovaginal smears. Samples from 904 randomly selected cases were examined at the Medical Center of Louisiana clinics for 2 years--the year before and the year after the implementation of SurePath. One observer reviewed the CP and Sur...

Liquid-based cytology: a 25-year bridge between the pap smear and molecular cytopathology.

Since its introduction, many laboratories have started to apply LBC to exfoliative and aspiration nongynecological cytology, aiming to exploit the same advantages on different samples. In fact, LBC is well suited to meet the requirements of ancillary techniques and their routine application in pathology laboratories, with specific reference to procedure standardization, purification and storage...

comparison of specimen adequacy and smear quality in conventional and liquid-based pap tests

conclusions specimen adequacy and diagnosis of inflammatory reaction were better in liquid base smear and convention smear, respectively. results specimen adequacy and smear quality were significantly better in liquid base sampling (p = 0.03); presence of benign cellular changes was not different between the two groups (p = 0.389). diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis was significantly better with ...

Conventional Pap Smear and Liquid Based Cytology for Cervical Cancer Screening – A Comparative Study

The study was undertaken to evaluate liquid based cytology (Pap spin) and to compare the sensitivity of Pap spin with conventional Pap smear. Pap smears were taken from 160 patients with gynaecologic complaints with Ayre’s spatula and endocervical cytobrush and slides prepared. The residual material on both the spatula and cytobrush were rinsed in Pap spin collection fluid and centrifuged. Dire...

Comparison of the SurePath liquid-based Papanicolaou smear with the conventional Papanicolaou smear in a multisite direct-to-vial study.

BACKGROUND Split-sample clinical trials for liquid-based Papanicolaou (Pap) smears demonstrated that the liquid-based Pap smear was a safe and effective replacement for the conventional Pap smear. However, clinical intended use of liquid-based technology employs direct-to-vial collection methods. The current study compared the cytologic detection rates of the liquid-based Pap smear with convent...
