[Status of preventive screening for uterine cervix cancer in Denmark in 1994].
In 1986 The National Board of Health published guidelines for cervical cancer screening in Denmark. These guidelines recommend organized screening with personal invitations every three years to women in the age group 23-59 years, and in the years to come also invitation of women aged 60-74 years. We studied the organization of cervical cancer screening in Danish counties at the beginning of 1994. Organized screening programmes are running in 15 out of the 16 "counties" (this include the municipalities of København and Frederiksberg). Four counties completely follow the national guidelines. Eight counties follow these guidelines in general, but they do not invite women above the age of 60 years. In total, 72% of women aged 25-74 years are at present invited for cervical cancer screening in Denmark.
