A free text data collection system has been developed at the University of Illinois utilizing single word, syntax free dictionary lookup to process data for retrieval. The source document for the system is the Surgical Pathology Request and Report form. To date 12,653 documents have been entered into the system.The free text data was used to create an IRS (Information Retrieval System) database. A program to interrogate this database has been developed to numerically coded operative procedures. A total of 16,519 procedures records were generated. One and nine tenths percent of the procedures could not be fitted into any procedures category; 6.1% could not be specifically coded, while 92% were coded into specific categories. A system of PL/1 programs has been developed to facilitate manual editing of these records, which can be performed in a reasonable length of time (1 week). This manual check reveals that these 92% were coded with precision = 0.931 and recall = 0.924. Correction of the readily correctable errors could improve these figures to precision = 0.977 and recall = 0.987. Syntax errors were relatively unimportant in the overall coding process, but did introduce significant error in some categories, such as when right-left-bilateral distinction was attempted.The coded file that has been constructed will be used as an input file to a gynecological disease/PAP smear correlation system. The outputs of this system will include retrospective information on the natural history of selected diseases and a patient log providing information to the clinician on patient follow-up.Thus a free text data collection system can be utilized to produce numerically coded files of reasonable accuracy. Further, these files can be used as a source of useful information both for the clinician and for the medical researcher.

Deteksi dini kanker serviks salah satunya melalui pemeriksaan Pap Smear, sebagai pemeriksaan sitologi untuk melihat adanya keganasan pada epitel serviks/ porsio. Salah satu masalah pelaksanaan Pap Smear umunya masih disebabkan karena masih rendahnya tingkat pendidikan dan pengetahuan penduduk Indonesia mengenai pemeriksaan Pap Smear. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan Wanita Usia Subur (WUS) dengan motivasi melakukan pemeriksaan Pap Smear di Desa Jetis Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Jimbaran Tahun 2012. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah survey analitik secara Cross Sectional pada wanita usia subur usia 35-40 tahun di Desa Jetis sebanyak 87 responden diambil dengan teknik Simple Random Sampling. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner serta analisis data dengan menggunakan uji korelasi KendallTau (τ).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar tingkat pengetahuan responden tentang Pap Smear kurang yaitu sebesar 62,1% sedangkan motivasi responden untuk melakukan pemeriksaan pap smear sebagian besar rendah yaitu sebesar 86,2%. Ada hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan wanita usia subur dengan motivasi melakukan pemeriksaan pap smear (p value <0,05) dan nilai τ = 0,281 memiliki makna ada hubungan arah positif, hal ini berarti perubahan pengetahuan yang baik akan mempengaruhi motivasi yang tinggi untuk melakukan pemeriksaan pap smear.

Background: Clinicians commonly perform colposcopy directed biopsies on patients with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) on PAP cytology even when not consistent with clinical guidelines. Objective: We study the association of PAP cytology screening results with cervical intra-epithelia neoplasia (CIN) 2-3 high-grade dysplasia, as confirmed by colposcopy-directed biopsy. Methods: A retrospective study of 263 women with an abnormality on the PAP smear. Multinomial logistic regression was performed with predictors of PAP cytology screening results with the outcome variable of colposcopy-directed biopsy. Results: High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) had significantly increased relative risk for CIN 2-3 (RR: 9.85, 95% CI: 1.84, 52.79, p=0.008). LSIL was not significantly associated with CIN 2-3. In the comparisons of negative with CIN-1, both HSIL and LSIL were not significantly associated with a negative biopsy. Conclusion: HSIL is associated with cervical dysplasia of CIN 2-3 while LSIL is not associated with cervical dysplasia of CIN 2-3. We do not recommend routine biopsies in patients with LSIL cytologic abnormalities unless additional compelling factors exist.
