Abstract

Context Cervical cancer despite being largely preventable, is still the leading cause of gynaecological cancer related death among females in developing countries. Identification of risk factors will help to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer. Methodology This was a prospective study involving four hundred and eighty five women consecutively selected among the women attending gynaecological clinic at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin- City. Results The prevalence of cervical intraepithelial lesion in this study was 20.6%. A total of 216 (44.9%) of the women were aware of cervical cancer and only 32.4% were aware of cervical cancer screening while only 13.5% ever had at least a Pap smear testing. Premalignant cervical lesion was significantly higher among women 30 years and older and lower socioeconomic class with a significant linear trend in each of these groups. High parity especially vaginal delivery, cigarette smoking and having had a previous Pap testing were each associated with increased risk of abnormal Pap smear. First marriage before 20 years of age and lifetime partners in excess of four were associated with increased risk of abnormal Pap smear. Conclusion the study demonstrated that high parity and women over 30 years of age (especially those who married earlier than 20 years of age) had a higher yield of cervical premalignant lesions. Key Words: Risk Factors, Cervical intraepithelial lesions.
三级医院中与宫颈上皮内病变相关的危险因素
尽管宫颈癌在很大程度上是可以预防的,但它仍然是发展中国家女性妇科癌症相关死亡的主要原因。确定危险因素将有助于减少与子宫颈癌有关的发病率和死亡率。这是一项前瞻性研究,在贝宁市贝宁大学教学医院妇科诊所连续选择485名妇女。结果本组宫颈上皮内病变发生率为20.6%。共有216名(44.9%)妇女知道子宫颈癌,只有32.4%的妇女知道子宫颈癌筛查,而只有13.5%的妇女至少接受过子宫颈抹片检查。宫颈癌前病变在30岁及以上和社会经济阶层较低的妇女中明显较高,在这些群体中呈显著的线性趋势。高胎次,特别是阴道分娩、吸烟和以前做过巴氏涂片检查,都与巴氏涂片异常的风险增加有关。20岁之前的第一次婚姻和超过4个终生伴侣与子宫颈抹片检查异常的风险增加有关。结论高胎次和30岁以上妇女(特别是结婚年龄在20岁以前的妇女)宫颈癌前病变发生率较高。关键词:危险因素;宫颈上皮内病变;
