ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aims at detecting the prevalence and current trends of various epithelial cell abnormalities (ECAs) in females attending a tertiary care hospital. Results: Among 4280 cases, 256 Pap smears were unsatisfactory, 3762 Pap smears were negative for intraepithelial lesion/malignancy (NILM), and 262 cases had ECA. Conclusion: Large hospital-based studies are required for proper implementation of health services as well as sensitive screening test for early detection of cervical abnormalities which can be helpful in decreasing the burden of cervical cancer in our community.
