Trends in cervical cancer incidence and mortality in the Baltic countries, Bulgaria and Romania.
indicate increased exposure to human papillomavirus infection and absence of effective screening programs. Rising trends of cervical cancer in the most affected EU member states reveal a worrying pattern ...
European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening. Second edition--summary document.
has been devoted to organised, population-based programme policies which minimise adverse effects and maximise benefits of screening. It is hoped that this expanded guidelines edition will have ...
Triage of women with equivocal or low-grade cervical cytology results: a meta-analysis of the HPV test positivity rate.
systems. The meta-analysis was restricted to studies, published between 1991 and 2007. A random-effect model was applied for meta-analytical pooling and the influence of covariates on the HPV positivity rate ...
Description of cervical cancer mortality in Belgium using Bayesian age-period-cohort models.
the separate effects of age, period and cohort. RESULTS: The corrected age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) decreased regularly from 9.2/100 000 in the mid 1950s to 2.5/100,000 in the late 1990s. ...
Prevaccination distribution of human papillomavirus types in women attending at cervical cancer screening in Belgium.
genotyping of cervical cell samples and linkage with vaccine registries, are an important resource to address pending questions of the effect of HPV vaccination. Research is warranted to disentangle the causal ...
Pooled analysis of the accuracy of five cervical cancer screening tests assessed in eleven studies in Africa and India.
Neoplasms Vaginal Smears Abstract: Cervical cancer is the main cancer among women in sub-Saharan Africa, India and other parts of the developing world. Evaluation of screening performance of effective ...
Organization of a quality-assurance project in all Belgian multidisciplinary diabetes centres treating insulin-treated diabetes patients: 5 years' experience.
To describe the IQED, a quality-assurance system started in 2001 in Belgian hospital-based multidisciplinary diabetes centres, and its effects on the quality of care. METHODS: The study was conducted ...
Clinical utility of HPV-DNA detection: triage of minor cervical lesions, follow-up of women treated for high-grade CIN: an update of pooled evidence.
test is more effective (more sensitive, equally specific) than cytology for the triage of patients with ASCUS Pap smears. Because of the high rate of HPV positivity, this is not the case for patients ...
Virologic versus cytologic triage of women with equivocal Pap smears: a meta-analysis of the accuracy to detect high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.
worse, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or worse, or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or worse, respectively. Random-effects models were used for pooling of accuracy ...
Metaanalysis of the accuracy of rapid prescreening relative to full screening of pap smears.
effect pooling methods were used for interstudy heterogeneity. Variation in sensitivity according to influencing factors was explored by metaregression. RESULTS: The pooled average sensitivity of RPS was ...
