Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of cervical dysplasia among 236 women in Algeria, examining how biological and demographic characteristics relate to its occurrence.
- Abnormal Pap smears were found in 39.84% of cases, with various classifications of dysplasia noted (e.g., ASCUS, LSIL, HSIL), and follow-up showed that most low-grade cases regressed while a smaller percentage progressed.
- The study emphasizes the significance of early cervical screening, as the abnormal smear rates correlated with factors such as the duration of oral contraceptive use, marriage length, and number of children.
