Hussein, a M. Desai, a A. Tomlinson, b H.C. Kitchener b Objective This study was conducted to compare the performance of liquid-based cytology (LBC) and conventional cytology (CS) in the high prevalence setting of colposcopy clinic. Design A split sample of matched ThinPrep (TP) and conventional smear from 563 patients were evaluated blindly. The performance of both techniques was compared with the gold standard of biopsy results or normal colposcopy examination in 441 cases. Setting Colposcopy clinic of an inner city hospital for women and children. Sample Five hundred and sixty-three women referred to colposcopy clinic over 14-month period. Methods Cervical smears were taken from 563 women referred for colposcopy. Using the split-sample technique, the material was spread on a conventional (CS) slide and the remaining material rinsed in a PreservCyt solution. A T2000 processor was used to prepare LBC preparations. All women underwent colposcopy/biopsy according to local protocol. Four hundred and forty-one women met the diagnostic standard criteria of the study, which was either a normal colposcopy or histopathology result. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values were calculated for both methods of cytology preparations. Main outcome measures Matched TP and conventional smears, detection of abnormality, matched biopsies, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Results Inadequate rates for CS and LBC (TP) were 4.3% and 0.68%, respectively. In 73% of cases, the CS and the LBC preparations showed exact agreement, whereas 77% agreement was seen when comparison was made for amalgamated low grade and high grade abnormalities. Low grade cytological abnormalities accounted for 44% of LBC slides versus 37% in CS slides. High grade cytological abnormalities accounted for 22% of LBC versus 17% seen in CS cases (P < 0.001). LBC showed increased sensitivity in the detection of CIN2 or worse than CS (92% and 83%, respectively) and CS showed greater specificity than LBC (82% and 76%, respectively). Conclusions In high prevalence setting, LBC performed at least as well as CS. The inadequate rate was significantly lower with LBC. The numbers are too small, however, to make confident comments about increased sensitivity and negative predictive value with LBC. Larger studies are required to verify these findings. INTRODUCTION Liquid-based cytology (LBC) has been recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence for implementation in the National Cervical Screening Programme 1 and has already been implemented in the Scottish Screening Programme. Its principal advantages are a major reduction in reported inadequate smears and increased laboratory throughput which improves cost efficacy. Increased sensitivity has been claimed for LBC in the detection of underlying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, 2 5 but in the absence of randomised control trials, there remains a degree of uncertainty about this. In terms of cervical screening, information about LBC performance in primary screening is available from the NHS Pilot Studies where it was compared with conventional cytology (CS). 6 In a previously published systematic review, the sensitivity and specificity of the conventional Papanicolaou smear ranged from 30% to 87% and from 86% to 100%, respectively. We wished to compare the diagnostic accuracy of one form of LBC (ThinPrep [TP]) with CS in the colposcopy setting where women were referred with abnormal cytology. a Manchester Cytology Centre, Manchester Royal Infirmary, UK b Academic Unit, Obstetric and Gynaecology, St Mary s Hospital, Manchester, UK Correspondence: Dr T.

D RCOG 2005 BJOG: an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology METHODS Cervical samples were taken using a broom-like collection device from women referred to the colposcopy clinic.

All women underwent a colposcopic examination. If colposcopic appearances were normal, a biopsy was generally not performed. With colposcopic abnormalities, a punch, loop or cone biopsy was taken. In some women with low grade cytology, and low grade colposcopic changes, biopsies were not performed on the first visit. Biopsies were taken in all cases of suspected high grade and a proportion of low grade abnormalities. All specimens were reported at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, Pathology Department. Cytology slides were prepared at the Manchester Cytology Centre on a Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 processor for LBC according to the laboratory s standard staining policy of progressive Papanicolaou stain. The TP slides were reported blind to the histopathology and colposcopy data by T.H. who was supervised by M.D. for any query on the slides. Conventional smears were reported by screeners, checkers, MLSOs or medical staff and were also reviewed blindly by T.H. before comparing with the LBC slides. Discrepancies between both methods of cytology and/or the CS review were discussed with a consultant cytopathologist over a multi-head microscope, which allowed double-checking of the LBC slide and the conventional smear. Using McNemar s test, statistical analysis was assessed and means of sensitivity, specificity and positive or negative predictive values were calculated using either a negative colposcopy or a histopathology result as the gold standard. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-two cases were excluded due to lack of colposcopy report of normal examination or there was no satisfactory biopsy. This group comprised solely negative and low grade cytology. Four hundred and forty-one patients met the criteria for the diagnostic standard for the study. The mean age of the women was 32.5 years (SD F10). In 99 cases there was a negative colposcopy or negative biopsy and in 342 cases there was some form of histological proven abnormality ranging from HPV associated change up to invasive carcinoma. Nineteen women (4.3%) had inadequate smears with the conventional technique compared with only 3 (0.68%) for the LBC (P < 0.001). The comparison of CS and LBC is shown in Table 1. There was an exact agreement by Table 2. TP versus conventional smear results by low or high grade.

Table 2 shows cytology classified as low grade (borderline and mild dyskaryosis) and high grade (moderate and severe dyskaryosis) with the correlation remaining almost identical. Out of all LBC smears, 44% showed low grade abnormalities and 22% high grade lesions compared with 37% low grade and 17% high grade lesions in the conventional smears (P < 0.001). The comparative cytology results with LBC and CS are shown against the colposcopy/biopsy results in Table 3. Negative cytology in the presence of CIN was more common with CS than LBC. LBC smears detected 86% of all CIN1 lesions found by biopsies compared with 73% by CS method, and 98% of all CIN2 and CIN3 were detected by LBC slides in comparison with 92% by CS. There were three cases of cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia, one of which was accurately predicted by either techniques. Both methods agreed in reporting the other cases as mild and severe dyskaryosis. LBC and CS Table 4.

Relative sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values are shown in Table 4. DISCUSSION The most valid comparison between LBC and CS is in the primary screening. Ideally, such studies should involve direct-to-vial collection as the split sample could result in non-comparable cellular representation. For example, split-sample studies found higher proportion of slides described as Satisfactory But Limited By: No Endocervical Component, in LBC smears, when compared with the CS method. 7,8 Direct-to-vial studies, however, had SBLB: No ECC rates similar to the current rate of conventional smears. 9 Nevertheless, it is important for laboratories moving to implement LBC to be confident that LBC performs at least as well as CS in terms of picking up underlying abnormalities. The inadequate rates in this study are well within normal ranges, suggesting that the split-sample cytology preparations were a valid basis for this study. Similar to previous studies, 10,11 LBC showed superiority in reducing smears described as suboptimal or inadequate and in increasing the detection of cervical abnormalities of all grades. 12 Using the Bethesda System terminology, 13 LBC increased ASCUS/AGUS rate, 10,14 which was not the case in all studies. 15 Applying the BSCC terminology, 16 however, borderline nuclear changes rate was almost equal or higher in CS smears than their TP counterparts. 11,17 Our
4 study showed an increase in borderline detection with LBC smears (26% of TP smears vs 21% in CS cases), with this occurring in cases reported negative or HPV changes in colposcopy/histology reports. We think that enhancing nuclear preservation with distinctive details in benign cells and the presence of dispersed small shrinking cells in the LBC smears might lead to this higher rate. One split-sample study on predominantly routine Papanicolaou tests showed that both techniques had similar detection rates for high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, 14 although the LBC test had more low grade abnormalities. In this study, the clean background in LBC slides helped to pick up cells showing high grade abnormality more efficiently, as they stand out and become easily recognisable among other squamous cells. The LBC results experienced even better performance in detection of CIN1 and CIN2/3 than the direct-to-vial method. 18 Of course, it is difficult to exclude a bias towards a highly prevalence patient population in the colposcopy clinic. As has been described in other reports, we found a significant decrease of inadequate cytology in LBC. Concern has been expressed as to whether cytological material can be assumed to be adequate using liquid-based technology 19 when it is shown to be inadequate in CS. In this study, the adequacy by LBC of 19 split samples thought inadequate in CS was confirmed by the identification of 11 low grade and 1 high grade abnormalities confirmed by histology. The LBC technique detected low grade and high grade dyskaryosis in smears found to be inadequate in the conventional smears (Table 1). Although our reference standard of histological diagnosis or negative colposcopy is not error-free, 20,21 all abnormal cytology cases with normal biopsies or when they showed only HPV changes were considered as false positive. Both TP and CS slides agreed over five HSIL cases, which reported as either negative and having HPV changes in histology. Although the follow up smear showed negative cytology, the discrepancy between histology and cytology could be related to the procedure done on the cervix before the biopsy taking 22 and even the smear-taking procedure can remove a small amount of dysplastic epithelium. 23 Both cytology techniques missed two cases showing severe glandular atypia in biopsies, only the accompanying squamous lesions (mild and severe dyskaryosis) were identified. These lesions might be inaccessible by the sampling device 24 or overlooked by the presence of squamous abnormalities. 25 Two carcinoma cases (adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) were not diagnosed accurately by both TP and CS methods. Similar to CS, the presence of microbiopsies in the smear can also be a pitfall in TP preparations. 26 As we found, some reports showed sensitivity improvement when the TP technique is used and better specificity in conventional smears. 27,28 On the other hand, some studies showed better sensitivity in the CS method 15,29 and only one study showed higher specificity in the TP technique. 15 It would appear from this study that in a high prevalence setting, LBC performs at least as well as CS. Numbers are too small to make confident comments about increased sensitivity and the predictive value that would be expected in the implementation of LBC. Larger studies should be performed to verify these findings. References CONVENTIONAL AND LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY National Institute for Clinical Excellence.
