Abstrakt: A recent study conducted in Mississippi aimed to understand the follow-up procedures for individuals with abnormal cervical screening results. The study found that out of 1,458 individuals requiring a colposcopy, 43% had the procedure within 4 months, 16.4% had a delayed procedure, and 39.5% had no documented follow-up. Age and cytology diagnosis were identified as significant predictors of follow-up, with individuals over 30 more likely to have a colposcopy. The study highlights the need for further research to address incomplete follow-up and improve health outcomes for cervical cancer prevention. [Extracted from the article]
