Collection and usage attributes | |
Comments: | The term 'female' is used in reference to a person's biological characteristics. See the Guide for use of Person—sex, code X for more information. From 1 December 2017, the screening test for cervical cancer, the Pap test, changed to a test for the human papillomavirus (HPV) with partial HPV genotyping and reflex liquid-based cytology (LBC) triage. The procedure for collecting samples for HPV testing is the same as for having a Pap smear. A health-care professional will take a small sample of cells from the woman’s cervix. The sample will be sent to a pathology laboratory for examination. While the previous Pap test can detect abnormal cell changes, the new cervical screening test detects the HPV infection that can cause the abnormal cell changes, prior to the development of cancer. The recommended screening age for the HPV test is 25 to 74 years. (Under the previous screening test the age range was 18 to 69 and the data submitted was for the age range 20 to 69). The HPV test is offered every 5 years (instead of every 2 years as it was with the Pap test) (DoH 2017). A vaginal sample can also be taken by a woman, under supervision of her health-care professional (AIHW 2017). The definition of a regular client can vary depending on the context and/or collection in which the term is being applied, but generally involves a minimum number of visits to an organisation or agency or uses of a facility, occurring over a specific period of time. For example, in the primary health care context a regular client may be someone who has visited a particular primary health care provider 3 or more times in the last 2 years. |
