“…Therefore, there is no justification for the fact that over seven hundred women die from this disease in the world every day. Numerous studies in this area have shown the same results, that women of higher socioeconomic status measured by education, financial status, and economic status have achieved greater coverage with this preventive examination [21][22][23][24].…”

Introduction: There is evidence that cancer screening and similar health interventions in patients with mental illnesses in some countries remain suboptimal. Considering the high prevalence of depression among women in Vojvodina, this study aimed to estimate the association of reduced utilization of cervical screening tests with sociodemographic variables and with depression. Aim: Considering the high prevalence of depression among women in Vojvodina, this study aimed to estimate the association of reduced utilization of cervical screening tests with sociodemographic variables and with depression. Material and Methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study on 1,226 women age 25-64 years from the Province of Vojvodina, as a part of the National Health Survey. To determine the impact of the time when the last smearing test was done (as a dependent variable) on sociodemographic characteristics and depression binary logistic regression model (Enter) was implemented. Models were adjusted for age, type of settlement, education, material status (wealth index), employment status, having a gynecologist in stateowned and private practice, and depression. Results: Out of the total, 555 women (59.7%) missed the cervical smear test in the last 12 months. Women with a secondary school were more likely to miss the cervical smear test in the last 12 months (OR=1.62; 95% CI=1.13-2.33) as well as women age 50-64 years (OR=1.45; 95% CI=0.99-2.13). Women without gynecologist in either a state-owned or private health practice had 4.13 and 2.20 higher odds of not done cervical smear tests during the last 12 months. Conclusion: The results show that special attention should be paid by physicians to identifying disorders in women, which can lead to neglect of their health, and reduced health control.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common and accounts for about 6.6% of all cancers in women. Aim: The aim was to determine the frequency of premalignant and malignant changes in the cervix, to examine the histological-cytological correlation of premalignant and malignant changes in the cervix and the correlation of the women's age with the stage of cervical disease. Material and Methods: A retrospective study analyzed 186 cervical biopsy specimens and cervical smears (Papanicolau test) at the Institute of Pathology of the Faculty of Medicine in Pristina, based in Kosovska Mitrovica, over a three-year period from 2016 to 2018. Results: Of the 186 subjects, 62 had mild premalignant changes of type LSIL, 22 HSIL, and as many as 20 (10.75%) cervical cancer. There was a statistically significant positive association between histological and cytological findings (r = 0.854; p <0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the age of the subjects with regard to histological findings (F = 11,327; p <0.001). Subjects with HSIL were significantly older than those diagnosed with cervicitis chronica (p = 0.029). Subjects diagnosed with planocellular carcinoma were significantly older than women with cervicitis chronica (p <0.001) and LSIL (p <0.001). Conclusion: There is an increasing trend of cervical cancer in Northern Kosovo and in the Serbian enclaves in central Kosovo and Metohija. Subjects with cervical cancer were significantly older than subjects with mild premalignant cervical changes. There is a significant histologic-cytological correlation of cervical findings, so we believe that more massive cervical screening, especially in younger women, could reduce the incidence of premalignant and malignant diseases of the cervix.
