3.1. Cervical Screening Results
CERVICAL CANCER, HSIL
Two women had had previous cervical cancer, 5 HSIL, 3 LSIL, and two had had previously had HPV previously reported on CSTs. One woman with a past history of cervical cancer and hysterectomy returned an intermediate-risk result, which was expected as she was scheduled for an annual review. One woman returned a test showing high-risk HPV, entered the recall system for abnormal results, and was referred for colposcopy. One woman’s CST was reported as being unsatisfactory and was transferred to the recall system for follow-up for repeat CST. The results for two women were unknown as CST was completed elsewhere.The team considered that some reminders might have been delivered to women who had never been sexually active, who then disclosed this when they presented for care and who thus did not require a CST. Information regarding eligibility would normally be recorded manually in a discrete manner but did not appear to apply to women included in this sample.The authors were not aware that this study included people with a cervix who did not identify as female, although the electronic medical record software used was not able to accurately capture these data.
