title: [A parallel comparison between cytological and cervicographic screening in early pregnancy].
abstract: The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic possibilities of cytologic and cervicographic screening of the cervix uterus in patients with early pregnancy. Fifty-four patients between the ages of 20 and 37 were examined cytologically and cervicographically in a prospective screening study. The dependability of each of the diagnostic tests was measured histologically (with the patient's approval) using punch biopsy under colposcopic control. The histologic results showed the presence of CIN in 9 women (16.7%), 8 of them with CIN I and one with CIN III. The rest of examined patients (45) had normal of various inflammatory findings. The analysis of the obtained results confirm a statistically significant difference between the two diagnostic, screening methods. The cervicographic examination is considerably more sensitive in finding CIN-44.4% compared to 22.2% of the cytology. Whereas the cytological method has a higher specificity as a test in determining the healthy patients-91.1% versus 51.2% of the cervicography. 12 or 22.2% of the cervicograms were technically defective.
