- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the results of the last cytopathological report of patients with delayed Pap smear. Methodology: Documentary, retrospective study with quantitative approach, conducted in the city of Redenção-CE, from April to September 2018. Were explored 660 medical records of women aged 25 to 64 years. For analysis, measures of central tendency and absolute and relative frequencies were used. Results: The number of women who had never had the Pap smear was 44,7%, and those who had been submitted but were delayed were 55,3%. The presence of metaplastic cells was less frequent (38,6%). Among infectious agents, there was a prevalence of suggestive results of Gardnerella vaginalis and Mobiluncus (14,9%), Candida sp (3,9%) and Trichomonas vaginalis (1,1%). The reports indicated the presence of premalignant and malignant cellular alterations. Conclusion: There are a large number of women with delayed Pap tests and a deficiency in the quality of the tests, indicated by the absence of metaplastic tissue. This should motivate the active search of patients to interrupt the chain of transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections and to treat cervical lesions early, reducing the chances of progression.
