Objectives: This study aimed to compare histological outcomes between pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women with cervical cytological abnormalities and to investigate the clinical factors affecting the misinterpretation of cytology and histology.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 599 patients with abnormal cervical cytology who underwent loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) between January 2010 and May 2019. Baseline characteristics were collected, including age, height, weight, body mass index, gravity, parity, and menopausal status. In total, 477 pre-menopausal women and 122 post-menopausal women were recruited.Results: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions were cytologically observed in 73.4% (135/184) of the pre-menopausal women, which were high-grade lesions confirmed by LEEP. In post-menopausal patients with cytology results that cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASC-H) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), 27.0% (24/89) were confirmed to have histologically low-grade lesions. High-risk HPV (hrHPV) prevalence in abnormal cervical smears was 92.2%. Moreover, other hrHPVs had a higher risk of unexpected histological outcomes unrelated to cytologic results.Conclusions: Menopausal status and HPV infection are associated with misinterpretation of cervical cytology and histology. Therefore, the menopausal status of patients should be considered for the management of cervical cytology, and primary co-testing is recommended to identify women at risk of cervical abnormalities.
