Effectiveness and harms of cervical screening
Objective Assessment of cytology and biopsy results preceding cervical excisional treatment and their
association with excisional histology to evaluate compliancewith treatment recommendationsand the potential
effect of revisions in cervical histology terminology and usage
Method Datafrom a unique statewide population-based screening registrywas used to describe theuse andhis-
tologic outcomes of cervical excisional procedures in the year following an abnormal cervical screening cytologyResults From 2007 to 2011 LEEP rates decreased 87 45 and 16 for women aged 15 ndash20 21ndash24 and
25ndash29 years respectively Reductions were attributable to an overall decline in cervical screening and colposcopy
anda decreasein LEEP followinga diagnosisof less than cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (bCIN2) or CIN2
histologypreceded by any abnormalcytology other than high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (bHSIL) LEEP
rates did not change signi1047297cantly (p N 07) for women aged 30ndash39 years Irrespective of age CIN2 was the most
common histologic antecedent of excisional treatment (42) with most (80) preceded by bHSIL cytology
Conclusion Cervical excisions are an unavoidable consequence of cervical screening Adherence to treatment
guidelines stipulating conservative follow-up of young women with biopsies leCIN2 could signi1047297cantly decrease
the number of excisional procedures and associated harms This opportunity will be lost if cervical intraepithelial
neoplasiagrade3 (CIN3) andsome or all of CIN2 aremerged into a singlehistologic categoryas hasbeen recently

Introduction
In March 2012 the United States Preventive Services Task Force
(USPSTF) the American Cancer Society (ACS) the American Society for
Colposcopy and Clinical Pathology (ASCCP) and the American Society
forClinical Pathology (ASCP) released newguidelines recommendingcer-
vical screening at three-year intervals starting at age 21 with the option
to substitute cytology plus human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing
(ldquocotestingrdquo) at 1047297ve-year intervals starting at the age of 30 The cotesting
regimen was preferred for women aged 30 years and above by all groups
except the USPSTF [1 2]

These recommendations and the trend towards less screening over
a womans lifetime that hasbeen thefocus of guidelinechanges over the
past decade are driven by the recognition that screening is not without
harms and that many if not most of thelesions treated asa consequence
of screening would not have progressed to cancer [3 4] Sasieni et al
showedthat screeningwomen 20ndash24 years old has no effect on cervical
cancer incidence up to age 30 [6] For women aged 13ndash25 years in
Kaiser Northern California 68 of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
grade 2 (CIN2) resolves spontaneously within 3 years supporting therecommendation that observation is preferred over treatment in
young women [7 8]
Concerns have been raised about risks of preterm birth premature
rupture of membranes low birth-weight and cesarean section follow-
ing cervical excisional treatment [9ndash11] In addition the discomfort
anxiety and negative impact on sexual function that have been associ-
ated with excisional treatment are of concern in circumstances where
treatment may not contribute to cancer prevention The riskbene1047297t
calculation for treatment is least favorable in young women prompting
the June 2009 Practice Improvement in Cervical Screening and
Management (PICSM) symposiumand subsequently the American Col-
lege of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) to recommend discontinuing
cervical screening in women younger than age 21 [5] Despite the low
risk for cervical precancer (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3
CIN3) and cervical cancer in young women and the potential harms of
excisional procedures studies involving provider responses to hypothet-
ical clinical scenarios suggest major deviations in cervical screening
practice from clinical practice recommendations withre1047298ex HPV testing
done for high-grade cytology testing for low-risk HPV and screening
annually with all tests regardless of the clinical situation as the most
common preference of survey respondents [12ndash15]
Prior to this assessment the association of cervical screening and
excisional treatment has never been investigated in actual practice in
the United States (US) and modeling studies are hampered by the
assumption that clinical practice guidelines are followed which the
investigations of screening practices cited above suggest may be signif-
icantly inaccurate It is also recognized that self-selection by respon-
dents to studies of clinical vignettes may not produce a representative
sample of care providers and thereby re1047298ect an imperfect view of provider compliance with guideline recommendations Using data
from a population-based statewide surveillance program we sought
to quantify the utilization of excisional treatment associated with
cervical screening by age to infer the actual indications for excisional
treatment from the antecedent cytology and biopsy diagnoses and to
examine the diagnostic yield of CIN3+ associated with different
combinations of antecedent test results
Materials and methods
The New Mexico HPV Pap Registry (NMHPVPR) is located at the
University of New Mexico and acts as a designee of the New Mexico
Department of Health (NMDOH) The NMHPVPR operates under New
Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) 743 which speci1047297es the list of Noti1047297able Diseases and Conditions for the state of New Mexico In
2006 with the intention of monitoring cervical screening practices
and outcomes and the impact of HPV vaccination NMAC 743 speci1047297ed
thatlaboratories must report to the NMHPVPRall cervical or vaginal cy-
tology cervical pathology and HPV tests performed on women residing
in New Mexico NMAC 743 was updated in 2009 to include vulvar and
vaginal pathology (httpnmhealthorgERDhealthdatadocuments
Noti1047297ableDiseasesConditions0229121047297nalpdf ) Ongoing evaluations of
cervical screening diagnosis and treatment by the NMHPVPR have
been reviewed and approved under exempt status by the University
of New Mexico Human Research Review Committee
In this analysis we used the NMHPVPR database to investigate the
use of cervical excisional treatment over the period of 2007 through
2011 in New Mexico among women aged 15ndash
39 years The majority
(80) of cervical excisional procedures in which the method of excision
was described were identi1047297ed as loop electrosurgical excision procedure
(LEEP) When not identi1047297ed as LEEP excisional procedures were gener-
ally identi1047297ed only as cone biopsy (without specifying the excisional
method) or infrequently as cold knife conization Therefore we elected
not to attempt to stratify cervical excisional procedures by method of
excision Hysterectomy and the rarely used trachelectomy were not
included as excisional treatment for the purposes of this analysis
We evaluated the useof cervical excisional treatment by consideringthelikelihood that a woman would undergo excision within1 year of an
abnormal screening cervical cytology test with a result of atypical cells
of unknown signi1047297cance (ASC-US) or worse We de1047297ned a screening
cervical cytology test as one without any prior cervical cytology within
10 months (300 days) based on our earlier published 1047297ndings [16]
We further restricted this analysis to those screening cytology tests
without any preceding abnormal cervical cytology or histology within
15 months and without any prior excisional procedure in the database
If a woman had more than one such cervical cytology test during the
period of 2007ndash2010 we chose the earliest and refer to this as the
ldquoindexrdquo screening cytology exam A total of 39804 abnormal index
screening cytology exams were identi1047297ed as were 2236 excisional
procedures in the year following these index screens
We calculated the proportion of women undergoing excisional
treatment within 1 year of the abnormal index screening cytology
within strata de1047297ned by the cytologic result of the index screen and
the histologic result of the follow-up cervical biopsy or endocervical cu-
rettage (ECC) Abnormal cytologic results were classi1047297ed as ASC-US
[negative for high-riskHPV or HPV status unknown] ASC-US+ [positive
for high-risk HPV high risk HPV types are based on Hybrid Capture 2
(Germantown MD USA) clinical HPV assay results which detect HPV
types 16 18 31 33 35 39 45 51 52 56 58 59 and 68] low-grade
intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) atypical squamous cells-cannot rule out
high-grade (ASC-H) atypical glandular cells (AGC) and high-grade
intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and less than HSIL (bHSIL) which included
ASC-US ASC-US+ LSIL ASC-H and AGC Cytologic results of carcinoma
were classi1047297ed as HSIL The HPVstatus of ASC-USresultswas determined
by linking the index cytology with a separate database of HPV tests
Cervical biopsy results were classi1047297ed as negative cervicalintraepithelial neoplasiagrades 1 2 and3 (CIN1 CIN2 CIN3)carcinoma
in situ (CIS) adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and cancer The histologic
interpretation CIN1ndash2 is included with CIN2 and CIN2ndash3 is included
with CIN3 This is believed to represent current clinical practice provides
the most charitable view of the indications for excisional treatment and
recognizes the reportedirreproducibility of these histologic designations
though it is understood that there is at present no published data about
subsequent cancer risk to validate these choices
We also computed population rates of cervical excision for the
period 2007ndash2011 These rates were computed as the number of
women treated in a given calendar year per 10000 women in the
population and also per 10000 women receiving a screening cervical
cytology test New Mexico population counts are US Census estimates
(wwwcensusgov) Using the 2007ndash2010 Centers for Disease Controlbridged-race population 1047297les 422 of NM women were non-Hispanic
white 422 were Hispanic white 30 were African American 105
were American Indian and 19 were Asian
Data analysis was conducted using SAS version 93 Con1047297dence
intervals for population excisional treatment rates are based on normal
approximation and all con1047297dence intervals for proportions are exact
Signi1047297cance testing with the CochranndashArmitage test of linear trend
was employed to discern changes over time
Results
The rate of excisional treatmentfor cervical abnormalities decreased
in New Mexico over the period 2007ndash2011 for women b30 years of age
(Table 1) The decrease was greatest for women aged 15ndash
20 years

where the excision rate declined by 87 The excision rate in womenaged 21ndash24 years decreased by 45 and in women aged 25ndash29 years
by 16 Excision rates did not change signi1047297cantly (p N 07) for
women aged 30ndash39 years Although screening rates declined over this
period excisional rates per 10000 women screened also decreased
signi1047297cantly (p b00001) for women aged 15ndash24 years
Table 2 gives the number of abnormal index cervical cytology tests
by age and result and shows thefollow-upover a period of 12 months
Follow-up has been classi1047297ed hierarchically as colposcopy with cervical
biopsy andor ECC else other gynecologic procedure else follow-up cy-
tology only else no-follow-up Other gynecologic procedures include
endometrial biopsies vaginal and vulvar biopsies and hysterectomies
A small percent (66) of women who underwent excision and had no
cervical biopsy or ECC prior to the excision are included in the
colposcopic biopsy follow-up category given that they received histo-logic evaluation of their cytologic abnormalities Colposcopies without
biopsy or ECC are not reported to the NMHPVPR
Follow-up with colposcopy and cervical biopsyECC increases with
agefor all categories of cytologic result except for ASC-US[HPV negative
or unknown] and HSIL (Fig 1) Follow-up by only repeat cytology after
an abnormal cytology of LSIL or worse wasmore common among youn-
ger women Notably 103 of women aged 15ndash20 years with HSIL
cytology were followed only by repeat cytology compared to 45 of
women aged 35ndash39 years Similarly lack of follow-up of any kind was
more common among younger women particularly among those with
LSIL or ASC-H cytology There was little change between 2007 and
2010 in the percent of women with ASC-US+ or worse cytology receiv-
ing follow-up colposcopy with biopsy except for women 15ndash20 years
ofage(Fig 2A)In this age group follow-up with colposcopy and biopsy
decreased signi1047297cantly from46 in 2007 to 26 in 2010 (p b 00001) Theproportion of women aged b 21 years with preceding abnormal cytology
was as expected and was similar to that observed for other age groups
For the period of 2007ndash2011 438 of women aged 15ndash20 years had a
prior cytology within 3 years of the screening cytology and 82 had a
prior abnormal cytology within 3 years For the more recent period of
2009ndash2011 486 had a prior cytology within 3 years of the screening
cytology and 100 had a prior abnormal cytology within 3 years
Table 3 displays thelikelihood by agecategory and overall (ages 15ndash
39 years) that a woman with a speci1047297c cervical cytology and histology
result will undergo a cervical excisional procedure in the following 12 -
months As expected excisional treatment increased with severity of
the preceding cervical histology The cytology result had no signi1047297cant
effect on the likelihood of excisional treatment for CIN2 and CIN3+ his-
tology but was a signi1047297cant factor for CIN1 and negative histology Ex-cisional treatment increased with age in all categories Table 3 reveals
the importance of the combination of a CIN2 biopsy and a cytology re-
sult less than HSIL (bHSIL) as an indication for excision The likelihood
of excision following this combination of histology and cytology results
increased from 326 at age 15ndash20 years to 678 at age 35ndash39 years
and preceded fully one-third (746 of 2236) of all excisional procedures
in women aged 15ndash39 yearsIndependent of the associated cytology re-
sult CIN2 was the most common histologic antecedent of excisional
treatment preceding 418 (935 of 2236) of all excisional treatments
Forwomenwith CIN2biopsy 74 hada prior abnormal cytology within
3 years The rate of excisional treatment for these women was 569
compared to 465 for women without prior abnormal cytology Very
few of these women had persistent CIN For the period of 2007ndash2010
32 of the 1968 women with CIN2 had CIN1 or greater on a prior biopsy

within 3 years When restricting to the more recent period of 2009ndash
2010 9 of 861 women with CIN2 had a CIN1 or greater result on a
prior biopsy within 3 years The median length of follow-up for
women with CIN2 was 316 days and 90 were in the range of 62 to
350 days For comparison the median number of days between a
CIN2 biopsy and excisional treatment was 43 days
Histology results of CIN2ndash3 (n = 317) which are combined with
CIN3+ in Table 3 were followed by excision in 603 of cases which
was similar to that for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3 (640) The percent
of excisions that were diagnosed as CIN3+ was also similar (555 for
CIN2ndash3 vs 645 for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3)
The percentage of excisional specimens with CIN3 or greater histol-
ogy (ldquoCIN3+ yieldrdquo) is also reported in Table 3 CIN3+ yield increased
not only with the severity of the preceding histology but also with theseverity of the preceding cytology With few exceptions CIN3+ yield
from excision was signi1047297cantly greater when preceded by HSIL cytology
than by b HSIL cytology
Time trends in use of excision over the period 2007ndash2010 are shown
in Table 4 and Fig 2B strati1047297ed by age and preceding cytologyhistology
The overall use of excision decreased for women aged 15ndash24 years but
was limited to those with b HSIL cytology andor biopsy results b CIN2
Among women aged 25ndash39 years the reduction in use of excision was
seen only for those with bHSIL cytology Because of the decrease in
screening at all ages and decrease in referral to colposcopy the absolute
number of excisions decreased in all categories and age groups Notably
the proportion of LEEPs that were CIN3+ increased from 103 to 524
(p b 0∙0001) in women aged 15ndash20 years but this proportion remained
unchanged in older women (Fig 2C)

younger age groupscould be avoideda bene1047297t of optimal adherence to
current clinical practice guidelines Importantly these data also suggest
that the proposal for changes regarding categories for cervical histology
that equateCIN3withallor part ofCIN2[24] obviates theability to man-
age CIN3 differently than CIN2 or CIN23 The newly recommended use
of p16 to in effect predict risk and clinical course does not resolve this
issue as there is no data on natural history and disease outcomes strat-

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the

harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

These recommendations and the trend towards less screening over
a womans lifetime that hasbeen thefocus of guidelinechanges over the
past decade are driven by the recognition that screening is not without
harms and that many if not most of thelesions treated asa consequence
of screening would not have progressed to cancer [3 4] Sasieni et al
showedthat screeningwomen 20ndash24 years old has no effect on cervical
cancer incidence up to age 30 [6] For women aged 13ndash25 years in
Kaiser Northern California 68 of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
grade 2 (CIN2) resolves spontaneously within 3 years supporting therecommendation that observation is preferred over treatment in
young women [7 8]
Concerns have been raised about risks of preterm birth premature
rupture of membranes low birth-weight and cesarean section follow-
ing cervical excisional treatment [9ndash11] In addition the discomfort
anxiety and negative impact on sexual function that have been associ-
ated with excisional treatment are of concern in circumstances where
treatment may not contribute to cancer prevention The riskbene1047297t
calculation for treatment is least favorable in young women prompting
the June 2009 Practice Improvement in Cervical Screening and
Management (PICSM) symposiumand subsequently the American Col-
lege of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) to recommend discontinuing
cervical screening in women younger than age 21 [5] Despite the low
risk for cervical precancer (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3
CIN3) and cervical cancer in young women and the potential harms of
excisional procedures studies involving provider responses to hypothet-
ical clinical scenarios suggest major deviations in cervical screening
practice from clinical practice recommendations withre1047298ex HPV testing
done for high-grade cytology testing for low-risk HPV and screening
annually with all tests regardless of the clinical situation as the most
common preference of survey respondents [12ndash15]
Prior to this assessment the association of cervical screening and
excisional treatment has never been investigated in actual practice in
the United States (US) and modeling studies are hampered by the
assumption that clinical practice guidelines are followed which the
investigations of screening practices cited above suggest may be signif-
icantly inaccurate It is also recognized that self-selection by respon-
dents to studies of clinical vignettes may not produce a representative
sample of care providers and thereby re1047298ect an imperfect view of provider compliance with guideline recommendations Using data
from a population-based statewide surveillance program we sought
to quantify the utilization of excisional treatment associated with
cervical screening by age to infer the actual indications for excisional
treatment from the antecedent cytology and biopsy diagnoses and to
examine the diagnostic yield of CIN3+ associated with different
combinations of antecedent test results
Materials and methods
The New Mexico HPV Pap Registry (NMHPVPR) is located at the
University of New Mexico and acts as a designee of the New Mexico
Department of Health (NMDOH) The NMHPVPR operates under New
Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) 743 which speci1047297es the list of Noti1047297able Diseases and Conditions for the state of New Mexico In
2006 with the intention of monitoring cervical screening practices
and outcomes and the impact of HPV vaccination NMAC 743 speci1047297ed
thatlaboratories must report to the NMHPVPRall cervical or vaginal cy-
tology cervical pathology and HPV tests performed on women residing
in New Mexico NMAC 743 was updated in 2009 to include vulvar and
vaginal pathology (httpnmhealthorgERDhealthdatadocuments
Noti1047297ableDiseasesConditions0229121047297nalpdf ) Ongoing evaluations of
cervical screening diagnosis and treatment by the NMHPVPR have
been reviewed and approved under exempt status by the University
of New Mexico Human Research Review Committee
In this analysis we used the NMHPVPR database to investigate the
use of cervical excisional treatment over the period of 2007 through
2011 in New Mexico among women aged 15ndash
39 years The majority
(80) of cervical excisional procedures in which the method of excision
was described were identi1047297ed as loop electrosurgical excision procedure
(LEEP) When not identi1047297ed as LEEP excisional procedures were gener-
ally identi1047297ed only as cone biopsy (without specifying the excisional
method) or infrequently as cold knife conization Therefore we elected
not to attempt to stratify cervical excisional procedures by method of
excision Hysterectomy and the rarely used trachelectomy were not
included as excisional treatment for the purposes of this analysis
We evaluated the useof cervical excisional treatment by consideringthelikelihood that a woman would undergo excision within1 year of an
abnormal screening cervical cytology test with a result of atypical cells
of unknown signi1047297cance (ASC-US) or worse We de1047297ned a screening
cervical cytology test as one without any prior cervical cytology within
10 months (300 days) based on our earlier published 1047297ndings [16]
We further restricted this analysis to those screening cytology tests
without any preceding abnormal cervical cytology or histology within
15 months and without any prior excisional procedure in the database
If a woman had more than one such cervical cytology test during the
period of 2007ndash2010 we chose the earliest and refer to this as the
ldquoindexrdquo screening cytology exam A total of 39804 abnormal index
screening cytology exams were identi1047297ed as were 2236 excisional
procedures in the year following these index screens
We calculated the proportion of women undergoing excisional
treatment within 1 year of the abnormal index screening cytology
within strata de1047297ned by the cytologic result of the index screen and
the histologic result of the follow-up cervical biopsy or endocervical cu-
rettage (ECC) Abnormal cytologic results were classi1047297ed as ASC-US
[negative for high-riskHPV or HPV status unknown] ASC-US+ [positive
for high-risk HPV high risk HPV types are based on Hybrid Capture 2
(Germantown MD USA) clinical HPV assay results which detect HPV
types 16 18 31 33 35 39 45 51 52 56 58 59 and 68] low-grade
intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) atypical squamous cells-cannot rule out
high-grade (ASC-H) atypical glandular cells (AGC) and high-grade
intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and less than HSIL (bHSIL) which included
ASC-US ASC-US+ LSIL ASC-H and AGC Cytologic results of carcinoma
were classi1047297ed as HSIL The HPVstatus of ASC-USresultswas determined
by linking the index cytology with a separate database of HPV tests
Cervical biopsy results were classi1047297ed as negative cervicalintraepithelial neoplasiagrades 1 2 and3 (CIN1 CIN2 CIN3)carcinoma
in situ (CIS) adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and cancer The histologic
interpretation CIN1ndash2 is included with CIN2 and CIN2ndash3 is included
with CIN3 This is believed to represent current clinical practice provides
the most charitable view of the indications for excisional treatment and
recognizes the reportedirreproducibility of these histologic designations
though it is understood that there is at present no published data about
subsequent cancer risk to validate these choices
We also computed population rates of cervical excision for the
period 2007ndash2011 These rates were computed as the number of
women treated in a given calendar year per 10000 women in the
population and also per 10000 women receiving a screening cervical
cytology test New Mexico population counts are US Census estimates
(wwwcensusgov) Using the 2007ndash2010 Centers for Disease Controlbridged-race population 1047297les 422 of NM women were non-Hispanic
white 422 were Hispanic white 30 were African American 105
were American Indian and 19 were Asian
Data analysis was conducted using SAS version 93 Con1047297dence
intervals for population excisional treatment rates are based on normal
approximation and all con1047297dence intervals for proportions are exact
Signi1047297cance testing with the CochranndashArmitage test of linear trend
was employed to discern changes over time
Results
The rate of excisional treatmentfor cervical abnormalities decreased
in New Mexico over the period 2007ndash2011 for women b30 years of age
(Table 1) The decrease was greatest for women aged 15ndash
20 years

where the excision rate declined by 87 The excision rate in womenaged 21ndash24 years decreased by 45 and in women aged 25ndash29 years
by 16 Excision rates did not change signi1047297cantly (p N 07) for
women aged 30ndash39 years Although screening rates declined over this
period excisional rates per 10000 women screened also decreased
signi1047297cantly (p b00001) for women aged 15ndash24 years
Table 2 gives the number of abnormal index cervical cytology tests
by age and result and shows thefollow-upover a period of 12 months
Follow-up has been classi1047297ed hierarchically as colposcopy with cervical
biopsy andor ECC else other gynecologic procedure else follow-up cy-
tology only else no-follow-up Other gynecologic procedures include
endometrial biopsies vaginal and vulvar biopsies and hysterectomies
A small percent (66) of women who underwent excision and had no
cervical biopsy or ECC prior to the excision are included in the
colposcopic biopsy follow-up category given that they received histo-logic evaluation of their cytologic abnormalities Colposcopies without
biopsy or ECC are not reported to the NMHPVPR
Follow-up with colposcopy and cervical biopsyECC increases with
agefor all categories of cytologic result except for ASC-US[HPV negative
or unknown] and HSIL (Fig 1) Follow-up by only repeat cytology after
an abnormal cytology of LSIL or worse wasmore common among youn-
ger women Notably 103 of women aged 15ndash20 years with HSIL
cytology were followed only by repeat cytology compared to 45 of
women aged 35ndash39 years Similarly lack of follow-up of any kind was
more common among younger women particularly among those with
LSIL or ASC-H cytology There was little change between 2007 and
2010 in the percent of women with ASC-US+ or worse cytology receiv-
ing follow-up colposcopy with biopsy except for women 15ndash20 years
ofage(Fig 2A)In this age group follow-up with colposcopy and biopsy
decreased signi1047297cantly from46 in 2007 to 26 in 2010 (p b 00001) Theproportion of women aged b 21 years with preceding abnormal cytology
was as expected and was similar to that observed for other age groups
For the period of 2007ndash2011 438 of women aged 15ndash20 years had a
prior cytology within 3 years of the screening cytology and 82 had a
prior abnormal cytology within 3 years For the more recent period of
2009ndash2011 486 had a prior cytology within 3 years of the screening
cytology and 100 had a prior abnormal cytology within 3 years
Table 3 displays thelikelihood by agecategory and overall (ages 15ndash
39 years) that a woman with a speci1047297c cervical cytology and histology
result will undergo a cervical excisional procedure in the following 12 -
months As expected excisional treatment increased with severity of
the preceding cervical histology The cytology result had no signi1047297cant
effect on the likelihood of excisional treatment for CIN2 and CIN3+ his-
tology but was a signi1047297cant factor for CIN1 and negative histology Ex-cisional treatment increased with age in all categories Table 3 reveals
the importance of the combination of a CIN2 biopsy and a cytology re-
sult less than HSIL (bHSIL) as an indication for excision The likelihood
of excision following this combination of histology and cytology results
increased from 326 at age 15ndash20 years to 678 at age 35ndash39 years
and preceded fully one-third (746 of 2236) of all excisional procedures
in women aged 15ndash39 yearsIndependent of the associated cytology re-
sult CIN2 was the most common histologic antecedent of excisional
treatment preceding 418 (935 of 2236) of all excisional treatments
Forwomenwith CIN2biopsy 74 hada prior abnormal cytology within
3 years The rate of excisional treatment for these women was 569
compared to 465 for women without prior abnormal cytology Very
few of these women had persistent CIN For the period of 2007ndash2010
32 of the 1968 women with CIN2 had CIN1 or greater on a prior biopsy

within 3 years When restricting to the more recent period of 2009ndash
2010 9 of 861 women with CIN2 had a CIN1 or greater result on a
prior biopsy within 3 years The median length of follow-up for
women with CIN2 was 316 days and 90 were in the range of 62 to
350 days For comparison the median number of days between a
CIN2 biopsy and excisional treatment was 43 days
Histology results of CIN2ndash3 (n = 317) which are combined with
CIN3+ in Table 3 were followed by excision in 603 of cases which
was similar to that for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3 (640) The percent
of excisions that were diagnosed as CIN3+ was also similar (555 for
CIN2ndash3 vs 645 for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3)
The percentage of excisional specimens with CIN3 or greater histol-
ogy (ldquoCIN3+ yieldrdquo) is also reported in Table 3 CIN3+ yield increased
not only with the severity of the preceding histology but also with theseverity of the preceding cytology With few exceptions CIN3+ yield
from excision was signi1047297cantly greater when preceded by HSIL cytology
than by b HSIL cytology
Time trends in use of excision over the period 2007ndash2010 are shown
in Table 4 and Fig 2B strati1047297ed by age and preceding cytologyhistology
The overall use of excision decreased for women aged 15ndash24 years but
was limited to those with b HSIL cytology andor biopsy results b CIN2
Among women aged 25ndash39 years the reduction in use of excision was
seen only for those with bHSIL cytology Because of the decrease in
screening at all ages and decrease in referral to colposcopy the absolute
number of excisions decreased in all categories and age groups Notably
the proportion of LEEPs that were CIN3+ increased from 103 to 524
(p b 0∙0001) in women aged 15ndash20 years but this proportion remained
unchanged in older women (Fig 2C)

of p16 to in effect predict risk and clinical course does not resolve this
issue as there is no data on natural history and disease outcomes strat-

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the
speci1047297cation of CIN grade being optional) then reduction of the potential
harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

where the excision rate declined by 87 The excision rate in womenaged 21ndash24 years decreased by 45 and in women aged 25ndash29 years
by 16 Excision rates did not change signi1047297cantly (p N 07) for
women aged 30ndash39 years Although screening rates declined over this
period excisional rates per 10000 women screened also decreased
signi1047297cantly (p b00001) for women aged 15ndash24 years
Table 2 gives the number of abnormal index cervical cytology tests
by age and result and shows thefollow-upover a period of 12 months
Follow-up has been classi1047297ed hierarchically as colposcopy with cervical
biopsy andor ECC else other gynecologic procedure else follow-up cy-
tology only else no-follow-up Other gynecologic procedures include
endometrial biopsies vaginal and vulvar biopsies and hysterectomies
A small percent (66) of women who underwent excision and had no
cervical biopsy or ECC prior to the excision are included in the
colposcopic biopsy follow-up category given that they received histo-logic evaluation of their cytologic abnormalities Colposcopies without
biopsy or ECC are not reported to the NMHPVPR
Follow-up with colposcopy and cervical biopsyECC increases with
agefor all categories of cytologic result except for ASC-US[HPV negative
or unknown] and HSIL (Fig 1) Follow-up by only repeat cytology after
an abnormal cytology of LSIL or worse wasmore common among youn-
ger women Notably 103 of women aged 15ndash20 years with HSIL
cytology were followed only by repeat cytology compared to 45 of
women aged 35ndash39 years Similarly lack of follow-up of any kind was
more common among younger women particularly among those with
LSIL or ASC-H cytology There was little change between 2007 and
2010 in the percent of women with ASC-US+ or worse cytology receiv-
ing follow-up colposcopy with biopsy except for women 15ndash20 years
ofage(Fig 2A)In this age group follow-up with colposcopy and biopsy
decreased signi1047297cantly from46 in 2007 to 26 in 2010 (p b 00001) Theproportion of women aged b 21 years with preceding abnormal cytology
was as expected and was similar to that observed for other age groups
For the period of 2007ndash2011 438 of women aged 15ndash20 years had a
prior cytology within 3 years of the screening cytology and 82 had a
prior abnormal cytology within 3 years For the more recent period of
2009ndash2011 486 had a prior cytology within 3 years of the screening
cytology and 100 had a prior abnormal cytology within 3 years
Table 3 displays thelikelihood by agecategory and overall (ages 15ndash
39 years) that a woman with a speci1047297c cervical cytology and histology
result will undergo a cervical excisional procedure in the following 12 -
months As expected excisional treatment increased with severity of
the preceding cervical histology The cytology result had no signi1047297cant
effect on the likelihood of excisional treatment for CIN2 and CIN3+ his-
tology but was a signi1047297cant factor for CIN1 and negative histology Ex-cisional treatment increased with age in all categories Table 3 reveals
the importance of the combination of a CIN2 biopsy and a cytology re-
sult less than HSIL (bHSIL) as an indication for excision The likelihood
of excision following this combination of histology and cytology results
increased from 326 at age 15ndash20 years to 678 at age 35ndash39 years
and preceded fully one-third (746 of 2236) of all excisional procedures
in women aged 15ndash39 yearsIndependent of the associated cytology re-
sult CIN2 was the most common histologic antecedent of excisional
treatment preceding 418 (935 of 2236) of all excisional treatments
Forwomenwith CIN2biopsy 74 hada prior abnormal cytology within
3 years The rate of excisional treatment for these women was 569
compared to 465 for women without prior abnormal cytology Very
few of these women had persistent CIN For the period of 2007ndash2010
32 of the 1968 women with CIN2 had CIN1 or greater on a prior biopsy

within 3 years When restricting to the more recent period of 2009ndash
2010 9 of 861 women with CIN2 had a CIN1 or greater result on a
prior biopsy within 3 years The median length of follow-up for
women with CIN2 was 316 days and 90 were in the range of 62 to
350 days For comparison the median number of days between a
CIN2 biopsy and excisional treatment was 43 days
Histology results of CIN2ndash3 (n = 317) which are combined with
CIN3+ in Table 3 were followed by excision in 603 of cases which
was similar to that for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3 (640) The percent
of excisions that were diagnosed as CIN3+ was also similar (555 for
CIN2ndash3 vs 645 for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3)
The percentage of excisional specimens with CIN3 or greater histol-
ogy (ldquoCIN3+ yieldrdquo) is also reported in Table 3 CIN3+ yield increased
not only with the severity of the preceding histology but also with theseverity of the preceding cytology With few exceptions CIN3+ yield
from excision was signi1047297cantly greater when preceded by HSIL cytology
than by b HSIL cytology
Time trends in use of excision over the period 2007ndash2010 are shown
in Table 4 and Fig 2B strati1047297ed by age and preceding cytologyhistology
The overall use of excision decreased for women aged 15ndash24 years but
was limited to those with b HSIL cytology andor biopsy results b CIN2
Among women aged 25ndash39 years the reduction in use of excision was
seen only for those with bHSIL cytology Because of the decrease in
screening at all ages and decrease in referral to colposcopy the absolute
number of excisions decreased in all categories and age groups Notably
the proportion of LEEPs that were CIN3+ increased from 103 to 524
(p b 0∙0001) in women aged 15ndash20 years but this proportion remained
unchanged in older women (Fig 2C)

younger age groupscould be avoideda bene1047297t of optimal adherence to
current clinical practice guidelines Importantly these data also suggest
that the proposal for changes regarding categories for cervical histology
that equateCIN3withallor part ofCIN2[24] obviates theability to man-

of p16 to in effect predict risk and clinical course does not resolve this
issue as there is no data on natural history and disease outcomes strat-

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the

harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

within 3 years When restricting to the more recent period of 2009ndash
2010 9 of 861 women with CIN2 had a CIN1 or greater result on a
prior biopsy within 3 years The median length of follow-up for
women with CIN2 was 316 days and 90 were in the range of 62 to
350 days For comparison the median number of days between a
CIN2 biopsy and excisional treatment was 43 days
Histology results of CIN2ndash3 (n = 317) which are combined with
CIN3+ in Table 3 were followed by excision in 603 of cases which
was similar to that for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3 (640) The percent
of excisions that were diagnosed as CIN3+ was also similar (555 for
CIN2ndash3 vs 645 for CIN3+ excluding CIN2ndash3)
The percentage of excisional specimens with CIN3 or greater histol-
ogy (ldquoCIN3+ yieldrdquo) is also reported in Table 3 CIN3+ yield increased
not only with the severity of the preceding histology but also with theseverity of the preceding cytology With few exceptions CIN3+ yield
from excision was signi1047297cantly greater when preceded by HSIL cytology
than by b HSIL cytology
Time trends in use of excision over the period 2007ndash2010 are shown
in Table 4 and Fig 2B strati1047297ed by age and preceding cytologyhistology
The overall use of excision decreased for women aged 15ndash24 years but
was limited to those with b HSIL cytology andor biopsy results b CIN2
Among women aged 25ndash39 years the reduction in use of excision was
seen only for those with bHSIL cytology Because of the decrease in
screening at all ages and decrease in referral to colposcopy the absolute
number of excisions decreased in all categories and age groups Notably
the proportion of LEEPs that were CIN3+ increased from 103 to 524
(p b 0∙0001) in women aged 15ndash20 years but this proportion remained
unchanged in older women (Fig 2C)

current clinical practice guidelines Importantly these data also suggest
that the proposal for changes regarding categories for cervical histology
that equateCIN3withallor part ofCIN2[24] obviates theability to man-

of p16 to in effect predict risk and clinical course does not resolve this

harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the
speci1047297cation of CIN grade being optional) then reduction of the potential
harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the
speci1047297cation of CIN grade being optional) then reduction of the potential
harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women

implemented (ie CIN2 and CIN3 are grouped as ldquohigh-graderdquo with the
speci1047297cation of CIN grade being optional) then reduction of the potential
harms associated with screening women in their childbearing years can
only be realized by decreasing screening itself rather than encouraging
more appropriate responses to the lesser histologic abnormalities that
precede the majority of LEEPs in the youngest women
