Variation in cervical cancer screening test utilization and results in a United States-based program

CONCLUSIONS: Cervical cancer screening strategy utilization and test results vary substantially by geographic region within a national screening program. Variation in utilization may be due to regional differences in screening test availability or the preferences of healthcare systems, screened persons and/or clinicians. Test result variations may reflect differing risk factors for HPV infections by geographic region.PMID:38301312 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.01.020
