A Comparison of the Strength of Association of Reid Colposcopic Index and Swede Score With Cervical Histology

Abstract

Swede score can be used flexibly depending on the setting. The lower threshold (5) with high sensitivity can be used for screening, whereas the higher threshold (8) with high specificity can be used for screen-and-treat selection to decrease the overtreatment rate. Thus, it is a more attractive option for cancer prevention programs in low-resource settings.
