ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death in women worldwide, and the main malignant disease in women of developing countries. Globally, each year about 500,000 new cases are reported and about 80% are in developing countries. 272 000 women die a year as a result.Objective: Describe risk factors in women with a positive Pap smear.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of premalignant lesions and cervical cancer was conducted, as well as the behavior of associated different risk factors with these diseases at "Dr. Mario Escalona Reguera" Teaching Polyclinic in Havana del Este, from January 2008 to December 2010 compared with the period January 2011 to December 2013.
Results: More frequent cytological abnormalities corresponded to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia I (44.3%) in 2008-2010. This behavior was maintained in 2011-2013 to 63.2%. The highest percentage of positive cytology was between the ages of 25-39 years, with a 55.7% frequency. The most common obstetric history were multiparity and abortion. The group of women with more than 4 sexual partners, 93 cases (80.9%) was higher.
Conclusions: Young women are most affected. Sexual intercourse at an early age (before age 20) increases the risk of cervical cancer.
