OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to review trends in colposcopy rates and diagnoses of high-grade dysplasia and cancer for the past 10 years at an academic colposcopy clinic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A registry of patients seen January 2008 to December 2018 at an academic colposcopy clinic was queried to examine trends in patient characteristics, cytology and histology results, and interventions during the study period, which coincided with the implementation of revised national guidelines. Differences in characteristics were examined with analysis of variance and χ tests. Trends in diagnoses were examined with logistic regression. Trends in interventions were modeled with binomial distribution, logit link, Poisson distribution, and log link.
RESULTS: Among 5,103 women referred for abnormal pap testing, human papillomavirus, or dysplasia, the mean age increased over time (30.6 in 2008 to 38.4 in 2018, p < .0001) and fewer pregnant patients were served (11.3% in 2008 vs 2.8% in 2018, p < .0001). There were decreased rates of low-grade cytology (81.3% in 2008 vs 73.6% in 2018, p = .006) and increased rates of human papillomavirus positivity (4.1% in 2008 vs. 14.4% in 2018, p < .0001) on referral. Fewer colposcopies were performed per patient per year (1.2 in 2008 vs. 0.7 in 2018, p < .0001), and with this targeted intervention, there was an increased percentage of patients diagnosed with high-grade histology over time (adjusted p = .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Over time, the number of colposcopies performed per patient decreased, especially in younger and pregnant women. Meanwhile, the percentage of patients diagnosed with high-grade histology increased, suggesting that guidelines decreased unnecessary procedures while increasing the percentage of patients diagnosed with precancerous lesions.
