Adherence to follow-up in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1

ObjectivesAdherence to follow-up is crucial for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) because these women have a chance of progression to high-grade premalignant cervical lesions and cervical cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the rate of adherence to follow-up in women who were initially diagnosed with CIN 1 over a period of 24 months and to evaluate the regression and progression rate of CIN 1.Material and methodsOf 1050 women who visited a colposcopy clinic from October 2013 through March 2017, 138 with histologically proven as CIN 1 were recruited. Adherence to follow-up, the regression and progression rate of CIN 1 were retrospectively assessed.ResultsOf the 138 women, 86 (62.3%) followed regularly until the study endpoint at 24 months. During the study period, 10 women received ablative treatment. The regression rate in women who had surveillance with cervical cytology was 69.7%, persistent disease of 18.4%, and progression to CIN 2–3 of 11.8%. In contrast, 80% of women who received ablative treatment had regression, 20% of them had persistent disease but none had progression.ConclusionsNearly 40% of women with CIN 1 were lost to follow-up at 24 months. Adherence to the follow-up should be emphasized to all women. Intensive interventions to improve adherence and clinical outcome might be an option, particularly among women with poor compliance.     

Hidden coexisting pathology diagnosed after cervical surgery in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy: A case series report

Many neurological disorders can present similar symptomatology to degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) or myeloradiculopathy (DCMR). Therefore, to avoid misdiagnosis, it is important to recognise the differential diagnosis, which has been well described in previous literature. Additionally, DCM or DCMR can also coexist with other diseases that overlap some of its clinical manifestations, which may be overlooked before cervical surgery. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed this clinical situation. In clinical practice, the diagnosis of coexisting disease with DCM or DCMR would be typically made when some symptoms persist without improvement after cervical surgery. To inform the patients of this possibility preoperatively and arrive at the early diagnosis during the postoperative period, some knowledge of the possible coexisting diseases would be necessary. In this report, we reviewed 230 patients who underwent surgery for DCM or DCMR in an academic centre to examine the prevalence and kind of underlying disease that was overlooked preoperatively. The coexisting diseases relevant to their baseline symptoms were diagnosed only after cervical surgery in three patients (1.3%) and included amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lung cancer and polymyalgia rheumatica. The overlapping symptoms were gait difficulty, scapular pain and neck pain, respectively. Surgeons should recognise that the coexisting disease with DCM or DCMR may be overlooked before cervical surgery because of overlapping symptomatology, although its prevalence is not certainly high. Further, when the specific symptom persisted without improvement after surgery for DCM or DCMR, the patient should be comprehensively examined, considering diverse pathological conditions, not only neurological disorders.     

Investigating the possible impact of peritoneal tumor exposure amongst women with early stage cervical cancer treated with minimally invasive approach

IntroductionRecent findings show a detrimental impact of the minimally invasive approach on patients with early stage cervical cancer (ECC). Reasons beyond these results are unclear. The aim of the present article is to investigate the possible role of peritoneal contamination during intracorporeal colpotomy.Methodspatients with early stage cervical cancer were divided into 2 groups: no intraperitoneal exposure (N-IPE) intraperitoneal exposure (IPE) during minimally invasive surgery. Patients of the 2 groups were propensity-matched according to the major risk factors.Results226 cases of the IPE group had a significant worst prognosis than the 142 cases of the N-IPE group (4.5-years disease free survival: 86.6% vs 95.9% respectively, p = 0.005), while N-IPE had similar survival to open surgery (4.5-years disease free survival: 95.0% vs 90.5% respectively, p = 0.164). Distant recurrence was more frequent among IPE patients with a borderline significance (3.5% vs 0.4% among IPE and N-IPE respectively, p = 0.083). On multivariate analysis, intraperitoneal tumor exposure was an independent prognostic factors for worse survival; patients belonging to the N-IPE group had a risk of recurrence of about 3-fold lower compared to patients of the IPE group (hazard ratio: 0.37, 95% confidence interval: 0.15–0.88, p = 0.025).Conclusionit would be advisable that further prospective studies investigating the efficacy of different surgical approach in ECC take into consideration of this issue. Moreover, all other measures that could potentially prevent peritoneal exposure of tumor should be adopted during minimally invasive surgery for early stage cervical cancer to provide higher survival outcomes.     

中医手法治疗颈型颈椎病随机对照试验的质量评价研究

背景 中医手法是治疗颈型颈椎病的重要手段。随着研究的不断发展，大量中医手法治疗颈型颈椎病的随机对照试验已经发表，但质量水平参差不齐，限制了中医手法的推广和高质量临床证据的产生。 目的 评价目前中医手法治疗颈型颈椎病随机对照试验的文献质量。 方法 计算机检索中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普网、中国生物医学文献服务系统、PubMed、Embase和Cochrane Library数据库中手法治疗颈型颈椎病的随机对照试验，检索时限为建库至2021年6月。由2名研究者完成文献筛选和资料提取。采用物理治疗证据数据库（PEDro）量表、Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具、临床试验报告标准（CONSORT）声明2010版及附加指标评价纳入文献的质量。 结果 共纳入81篇文献，其中2006—2014年共发表文献28篇，年平均发表3.11篇；2015—2021年共发表文献53篇，年平均发表7.57篇。文献质量评价结果显示，PEDro量表总分≥7分的高质量文献仅7篇（8.6%）。Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具显示，高偏倚风险文献所占比例最少，低偏倚风险文献次之，大部分条目因为报告信息不全，评分偏倚风险不确定。CONSORT声明2010版评价结果显示，纳入文献的文题和摘要、方法、结果、讨论、其他信息部分报告率不足。附加指标中采用多中心、伦理审批、干预措施质量控制、志谢报告率低。 结论 目前中医手法治疗颈型颈椎病随机对照试验的文献质量普遍偏低，建议今后研究者参照PEDro量表、Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具、CONSORT声明对中医手法治疗颈型颈椎病的随机对照试验进行规范性报告。
