Predictors of Positive Margins at Time of Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure.

Objective: The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with the presence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) at surgical margins of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) pathology specimens.

Materials And Methods: All women evaluated for lower genital tract disease at a single academic institution were prospectively entered into a database. The database was queried for all women who had a LEEP performed for indications within contemporary American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology guidelines between April 1, 2013, and April 30, 2015.

Adherence to Management Recommendations in Patients Diagnosed With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2 or 3.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the rate of patient adherence to provider recommendations for biopsy proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 or 3 in an academic safety-net hospital.

Materials And Methods: This is a case series of patients with biopsy-proven CIN 2 or 3 identified via pathology records between January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 at a single academic safety-net hospital. Patients with human immunodeficiency virus, lupus, or pregnancy were excluded.

Perinatal High-Grade Cervical Cytology: A Case Series From a Safety Net Institution.

Objective: To describe the outcomes of women with high-grade cervical cytology in pregnancy and to identify factors that predict completion of appropriate postpartum follow-up.

Methods: We describe a case series of all patients with high-grade cervical cytology collected during pregnancy between 2007 and 2011 at a single institution. Patients were considered adherent with follow-up if they received any kind of postpartum evaluation or treatment for their cervical dysplasia at our institution within 9 months of delivery.
