BACKGROUND Data extraction tools (DETs) are increasingly being used for research and audit of general practice, despite their limitations.Objective This study explores the accuracy of Pap smear rates obtained with a DET compared to that of the Pap smear rate obtained with a manual file audit. METHOD A widely available DET was used to establish the rate of Pap smears in a large multi-general p...

Twenty-five patients with histologically confirmed carcinosarcoma had a conventional Pap smear shortly before diagnosis. Eleven smears (44%) originally were read as abnor...
