Broom versus broom-and-brush: A comparison of Surepath^® liquid-based Papanicolaou test (LBPT) collection devices

Transformation zone sampling rate used as a performance indicator for cervical liquid‐based cytology sample‐takers

“…It is interesting to note that in our study 66% (115/175) of qualifying practitioners have a TZSR below 80%. Other previous studies reporting on the endocervical/metaplastic cell component of LBC samples found it to be present in 70.6%, 76% and 77.14% of samples. These findings and the average TZSR of 70% from this study suggest that the greater than 80% target is not suitable for LBC samples.…”
