Abstract:Objective To explore the diagnostic value of endocervical curettage under colposcope (ECC).Methods 2 095 women with opportunistic screening were selected and all underwent cervical liquid based thin layer cytology (TCT) combined with human papillomavirus (HPV) screening, colposcopy multi-point biopsy and ECC sampling to analyze the diagnostic value of ECC.Results The total positive rate of ECC was 6.8% (142/2 095), the diagnostic sensitivity of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL+) was 30.3% (95%CI: 26.20~34.80), and the additional positive rate of ECC for HSIL+ was 4.5% (21/468). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR^ = 1.04, 95%CI:1.02 ~ 1.06), obvious cytological abnormality [atypical squamous cells: cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H)/HSIL+] (OR^ = 16.65, 95%CI:10.19 ~ 27.19), visibility of transformation region (OR^ = 4.35, 95%CI: 2.71 ~ 6.97) and high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection (OR^ = 7.55, 95%CI: 2.72 ~ 20.98) were risk factors affecting the positive detection rate of HSIL+ by ECC. For patients with atypical squamous epithelial cells of undertermined significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), the additional diagnostic value of ECC for HSIL+ was very low, only 0.6% (6/941). The diagnostic value of ECC for HSIL+ was higher in patients with ASC-H/HSIL+ cytology and over 30 years old with HPV16/18 infection (11.0% ~ 44.4%).Conclusion Colposcopic ECC has a high diagnostic value in women with ASC-H/HSIL+ cytology, or age ≥ 30 years old and HPV16/18 infection, but it has a low additional diagnostic value in women with slight cytological abnormalities.
