HALLAZGOS CITOL 3GICOS ASOCIADOS A PATOLOG\ucdA CERVICAL MALIGNA COMUNIDAD DE VERAGACHA. BARQUISIMETO, LARA

El c\ue1ncer constituye una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad mundial, actualmente en Venezuela el c\ue1ncer de cuello uterino ocupa el segundo lugar de \uedndice de mortalidad despu\ue9s del de mama. Existen factores de riesgo que predisponen su expresi\uf3n: Menarqu\ueda y sexarquia precoz, m\ue1s de dos parejas sexuales, entre otros. Se realiz\uf3 un estudio anal\uedtico de prevalencia para determinar hallazgos citol\uf3gicos y algunos factores de riesgos asociados a patolog\ueda cervical maligna, en la poblaci\uf3n femenina mayor de 15 a 65 a\uf1os de la comunidad de Veragacha, Municipio Iribarren, Barquisimeto, a trav\ue9s de un muestreo no probabil\uedstico accidental de 86 pacientes, donde se obtuvo: 74,4% cambios celulares benignos, 18,6% normal y 7% para c\ue9lulas epiteliales anormales, de estas se encontr\uf3 66,7% LIE bajo grado y 33,3% ASC-US; en cuanto a los cambios celulares benignos 82,8% fueron cambios reactivos y 17,2% por infecci\uf3n; no se encontr\uf3 asociaci\uf3n de factores de riesgo con hallazgos citol\uf3gicos. A pesar de lo antes descrito, los factores de riesgos m\ue1s frecuentes fueron modificables, como sexarquia temprana, seguido de m\ue1s de dos parejas sexuales, sirva estos datos para conocer la morbilidad m\ue1s frecuente en hallazgos citol\uf3gicos, as\ued como base para implementaci\uf3n de control preventivo a nivel local y regional. ABSTRACT CYTOLOGICAL FINDINGS RELATED TO MALIGNANT CERVICAL PATHOLOGY. VERAGACHA COMMUNITY. BARQUISIMETO, LARA. Cancer is one of the worldwide leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Currently in Venezuela, cervix's cancer ranks second in mortality after breasts cancer. There are risk factors that predispose cancer's expression: menarche and early sexual intercourse, more than two sexual partners, are cited among others. An analytical study was conducted to determine prevalence of cytological findings and some risk factors associated with malignant cervical pathology in a female population ranging from 15-65 years old in Veragacha community, Iribarren Municipality, Barquisimeto. An accidental non-probabilistic sampling of 86 patients yielded benign cellular changes 74.4%, 18.6% normal and 7% for epithelial cells abnormality, in this last group it was found low grade SIL 66.7% and 33.3% ASC-US, as to benign cellular changes, reactive changes were 82.8% and 17.2% by infection; There were no association of risk factors with cytological findings. Although, the most common risk factors were those that can be modified, like early sexual intercourse, followed by more than two sexual partners, these findings serve to determine the most frequent morbidity in cytological findings, as well as a basis for local and regional implementation of preventive controls
