Cervical smear testing in pregnant women showed a high rate of unsatisfactory results but a normal incidence of abnormal cytology. Antenatal screening is recommended when a national program is unavailable.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Cytopathology
  • Public Health Screening

Background:

  • Cervical screening is crucial for early detection of cervical abnormalities.
  • The efficacy of cervical smear testing during pregnancy requires evaluation.
  • Understanding screening outcomes in pregnant populations is important for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficiency and outcomes of cervical smear testing in pregnant women.
  • To compare cervical screening results in pregnant women with established benchmarks.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzing cervical smear results from 100 pregnant women.
  • Data collected included age, parity, and previous smear history.
  • Comparison of results with Western Health Board figures was performed.

Main Results:

  • 58% of cervical smears were normal, while 6% were abnormal.
  • A significant 36% of smears were unsatisfactory.
  • The incidence of abnormal cytology in pregnant women aligned with standard population figures.

Conclusions:

  • Pregnant women do not exhibit a higher likelihood of frankly abnormal cervical smears compared to the general population.
  • Despite limitations such as high unsatisfactory rates, antenatal cervical screening is recommended in the absence of a national screening program.
