Added value of electrical impedance spectroscopy in adjunction of colposcopy: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess whether electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as an adjunctive technology enhances the performance of colposcopy.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

University Hospital colposcopy clinic.

Participants

Colposcopy with EIS for 647 women and conventional colposcopy for 962 women.

Interventions

Comparison of the performance of colposcopy by referral cervical cytology in two cohorts, with and without EIS as an adjunctive technology.

Outcome measures

Prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+), diagnostic testing accuracy to detect CIN2+ with and without EIS and their relative differences between cohorts.

Results

The prevalence of CIN2+ varied between the cohorts according to referral cyto
