Incidence of Cervical Dyskaryosis in Ireland: Report of a Five-Year Audit
Material type:
TextSeries: Staff Publications- Turner, Leslie ; Staff Publications- Gibbons, DavidPublication details: Staff Publications 2002Subject(s): - The implementation of a national cervical screening programme in Ireland will require agreement on achievable standards in reporting cervical cytology similar to those published by the NHS cervical screening programme1. Due to the opportunistic nature of screening in the Republic of Ireland, national incidence figures for uterine cervical disease are not available. An audit of our practice was performed to find the incidence of human papilloma virus related cervical disease in our population. Our laboratory reported 158,066 cases from 1996-2000. The overall rate of dyskaryosis increased from 3.6 to 7.9, mostly due to increased low grade dyskaryosis (up from 2.3 to 6.0). High grade dyskaryosis also increased (from 1.3 to 1.9), particularly in the under-25 year age group who account for a growing proportion of high grade dyskaryosis (from 15.4 of all high grade diagnoses in 1996 to 23.0 in 2000). The positive predictive value of a diagnosis of high grade dyskaryosis remained stable between 76.0 and 79.5. While opportunistic screening data may not be directly applicable to the entire screening population it is hoped that these data may form a foundation on which to estimate national incidence figures and define achievable standards for cervical screening cytology in Ireland
