Cervical cancer screening in Denmark

Objective - To analyse physical examinations and laboratory tests reported in antenatal care visits in relation to official guidelines and reviews of appropriateness. Design - A nationwide cross sectional study based on questionnaires completed by general practitioners (GPs), midwives, and hospital doctors. Physical examinations and laboratory tests in connection with one specific visit were reported. Subjects - the questionnaires were completed by 722 GPs (61% of eligible from a random sample), 584 midwives (86% of eligible), 250 hospital doctors who made health examinations in pregnancy, week 16 - 18 (63% of eligible), and 181 hospital doctors who saw women with at-risk pregnancies (55% of eligible). Results - General practice: weight, blood pressure (BP) measurement, and test for proteinuria were reported in more than 90% of visits. Urine culture was reported in 46%, and cervical smear in 41% of first visits. Rubella antibody test at the first visit was only reported in 23% of nulliparae. Vaginal exami...

Physical examinations and laboratory tests in antenatal care visits in Denmark: Do reported practice and current oficial guidelines concord with results of literature reviews?: A nationwide study of the public scheme of shared antenatal care in general practice, centres of midwifery and hospital outpatients' clinics.

Objectives: Many countries rely on opportunistic screening, and data on its effectiveness are asked for. We assessed the impact on cervical cancer incidence and mortality of opportunistic screening...

What happens when organization of cervical cancer screening is delayed or stopped

In 1986, The Danish National Board of Health published guidelines for cervical cancer screening. These guidelines recommend organized screening with personal invitations every three years to women in the age group 23-59 years, and in the years to come also invitations to women aged 60-74 years. Five years have now elapsed since publication of these guidelines, and we have therefore studied the present organization of cervical cancer screening in Danish counties. Organized screening programmes are now, medio 1991, running in 11 out of the 16 "counties" (this includes the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg). One county follows the national guidelines entirely. Six counties follow these guidelines in general, but they do not invite women over the age of 60 years. In all, 45% of women aged 25-74 years are at present invited for cervical cancer screening in Denmark. Two counties have decided to start organized screening programmes in 1992.
