Classification, management, and tracking of abnormal Papanicolaou smears.

A system of classifying, managing, and tracking abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) smears was used at a California university where 3,289 patients were tested.

The follow-up success rate was determined for 6-month repeat Pap smears, colposcopy patient contact, and biopsy results.
