Impact of DYSIS by Experience Level of Colposcopist
In an article that was recently published in Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, Dr Coronado from the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid, Spain, presents and analyzes the data from a survey he performed among 63 colposcopists, using images from 50 colposcopic examinations that he had performed in his clinic.
Aiming to study the difference in colposcopic accuracy among physicians of varying experience and study the effect of including the DYSISmap as an adjunct to their colposcopic assessment, Dr Coronado divided the participants by level of experience into three groups (low, medium high) and measured their accuracy in predicting the outcome (Normal, CIN1, CIN2+) of each case as confirmed by biopsy.
