Abstract

Objective: Pap smear has been done by health services since 1991 in Iran. Unfortunately detection of abnormal smear is very low although this cancer was the 9th cause of death in four counties in 1999. The goal of this research is determination the cause of low quality Pap smear in Hamadan County. Materials & Methods: We choose 1224 smears from the total smears that had been evaluated by cytologists. All smears were reevaluted with a pathologist and she answered the questions: was smear prepared correctly? Was smear evaluated carefully? Then results were analyzed with SPSS. Results: Problems were classified in 3 groups. The first were related to smear’s collector (11.7%). 43.7% were related to loss of endocervical cells- 34.7% related to low cellularity- 28.8% related to coverage with inflammatory cells and 4.2% related to poor fixation. The second problem were related to preparing smears by cytologist (74.5%), including coloring, sticking lamella to lame. 47.5% of smears were poorly prepared and of no value 30.1% related to unfavorable stick, 14.2% to wrong coloring, 2.7% related to put the lamella over lame. The third problem was related to the quality of evaluation. There was 96.6% agreement between cytologist and pathologist. Conclusion: This research demonstrated that the first cause of low quality was preparation by the cytologist (74.5%), next refers to collector (11.7%). But the high quality of evaluation (96.6%) was questionable because many smears were deleted from analysis with low quality.
