Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? The effective implementation of cervical cancer examination programs requires improved cervical cancer screening coverage and quality. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The detection rate of ≥high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in 6 hospitals was 19.6%. Not having undergone screening in the last 5 years and abnormal screening results had a negative association with detection of ≥HSIL, and abnormal screening results would increase the risk of detection by 75% compared with normal screening results. Additionally, low-grade, high-grade, and cancer of colposcopic impression were associated with a higher risk for detecting ≥HSIL. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? It is essential to disseminate health knowledge about cervical cancer control to women in order to increase their awareness and screening rates. Additionally, it is necessary to further strengthen the training of professional staff to improve the quality of cervical cancer prevention, including screening, colposcopic examination, and follow-up for target female populations.
