Abstract:

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of Reid Scores under colposcopy in cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Methods Cervical biopsy under colposcopy was carried out for cervical diseases in 528 patients.With pathological findings as criteria, the value of Reid Scores under colposcopy in diagnosis of HPV infection was analysed. Results The coincidence of Reid Scores under colposcopy in diagnosis of HPV infection and cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) was 52.66%, with the sensitivity of 51.05% in diagnosis of lowgrade cervical diseases (HPV infection and CINⅠ) and that of 66.67% in diagnosis of high-grade cervical diseases (CINⅡand CINⅢ). For the patients with diagnosis of HPV infection examined by pathology, the scores of items of boundary, color and vessels were positively related to the total Reid Score, while the scores of items of boundary and color were not related to that of vessels. Conclusion There may exist clinical significance in diagnosis of HPV infection by colposcopy in combination with RCI Scores.
