Introduction:

Cervical uterine cancer is a malignant neoplasm that is associated with remarkable number of risk factors, including sexual behavior.

Objective:

To analyze the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of women with altered cytology treated by a basic work group at the Policlínico Docente Comunitario "Joaquín de Agüero y Agüero", in Camagüey municipality.

Method:

A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted from January to December 2020. It worked with a total of 62 women (as universe) treated in 11 different urban clinics associated to the Basic Work Group 1, all women with altered cytology diagnosed by histological and/or cytological study. Variables used were as follow: group of age, family history linked to the cervical and uterine body pathologies, risk factors, human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and histopathological Papanicolaou results. Data processing and analysis were performed using the statistical package SPSS version 21.0.

Results:

The highest incidence of cervical uterine lesions occurred in the group of age 25 to 34 (43.5%), and the 45.1% showed a maternal family history. Vaginal infection (100%) and multiparity (82.2%) were considered the main risk factors. Patients with HPV predominated in 87.1%. In addition, cytology with findings of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1) was the most frequently diagnosed (40.3%).

Conclusions:

It is concluded that the risk factors analyzed show a significant direct relationship between HPV and altered cervical cytology outcomes.
