OBJETIVE: To evaluate the specificity, sensitivity and positive predictive value of screening for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) - Pap smear and colposcopy. compar'sndolas with the final diagnosis, given by the Pathology. DESIGN: Observational Research retrospect. LOCATION: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional Hospital of Trujillo, January 1994 to April 1997. Material and metods: Review of medical records file Hospital 109 cases of positive cytology and colposcopy 107 cases who had histopathology. RESULTS: The Pap smear, has specificity 50%, sensitivity 80%, with a false positive proportion of 50% and 20% false negatives. Colposcopy has sensitivity 79%, specificity 25%, with a false positive proportion of 75% and 21% false negatives. The positive predictive values for cytology and colposcopy were 58% and 46% respectively. Conclusions: The Pap smear showed little v...

Objective: To determine the prevalence of extreme maternal morbidity (EMM), establish characterization events, and comparatively analyze EMM and maternal deaths; among pregnant women managed over a 5-year period in Educational Regional Hospital, hospital tertiary in Trujillo – Perú. Methods: Retrospective study based review of clinics histories of EMM and maternal death which occurred since 01 January 2002 and 31 December 2006. The EMM were compared with maternal deaths with respect to demographic features and disease profiles. Results: There were 16568 deliveries, 1853 maternal morbidities, 70 EMM and 35 maternal deaths. It was verified that the maternal morbidity, the MME and MM keep an order from diminution of frequency. Preeclampsia severe and the hemorrhage predominated with 62% maternal morbidity, whereas for MME the multisyatemic disease was the one that with 44% predominated. ...
