Zusammenfassung: | Cytology findings of atypical squamous cells of unknown significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) are common among women under 30, but evidence on best management strategy is insufficient. We therefore investigated how different management strategies used in Denmark influenced biopsy rates and detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Register-based cohort study including Danish women aged less than 30 years and born 1980–95, with ASCUS/LSIL as their first abnormal cervical cytology in 2008–16. Rates and relative risks (RR) of biopsy and detection of CIN3+, CIN2 and 19,946 women with ASCUS and 19,825 with LSIL were included in the study of whom 92% had adequate information about follow-up. Among women referred directly to biopsy, CIN3+ was detected among 21%, CIN2 in 17%, while 62% had The choice of management strategy influences both the detection rate for severe lesions (CIN3+) and the proportion of women followed up for potentially insignificant findings. |
