The efficacy of modified Swede Colposcopic Index in prediction of high-grade lesion and cancer of cervix.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of modified Swede Colposcopic Index (MSCI) to predict high-grade lesion and cancer of cervix (CIN2+, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse) in women with abnormal cervical cytology who underwent a colposcopy.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study and MSCI using 5 features of cervical lesions evidenced from colposcopy: acetouptake, margin and surface, vessels, lesion size, and location of lesion. Each feature was scored from cervicograhpic findings which transformation zone was completely seen. Odds ratio of each feature was obtained by logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the efficacy of summation score to predict CIN2+. An appropriate cut-off point score was assigned.
