CLINICAL STUDY RESULTS
The diagnostic categories of The Bethesda System were used as the basis of the comparison between
conventional and ThinPrep
®
findings from the clinical study. The diagnostic classification data and
statistical analyses for all clinical sites are presented in Tables 2 through 11. Cases with incorrect
paperwork, patient’s age less than 18 years, cytologically unsatisfactory slides, or patients with a
hysterectomy were excluded from this analysis. Few cases of cervical cancer (0.02%

) were
represented in the clinical study, as is typical in the United States patient population.
