ABSTRACT
BACKGROUNG Cervical cancer is a serious public health problem in Brazil and around the world. Its screening through the Pap smear screening is crucial for prevention and early detection.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the Pap smear ratio in the regions of the State of Rio Grande do Norte from 2008 to 2014, and to describe the regions with lower and higher screening for cervical cancer according to the space.

METHODS:

It is a quantitative, retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study that used secondary data from SISCOLO/DATASUS. The sample was composed by the 167 municipalities of the State of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil, divided by the eight regions of that State. The results were expressed in absolute and relative frequencies, the differences between means were analyzed by the T student tests, in which significant differences were considered when p<0.05. The mapping of results was done through the TabWin program 32.

CONCLUSION:

The average ratio of Pap smear varied considerably between the regions of the State in the years 2008 to 2014. There was decrease in the average of the ratio between the years 2008 and 2014, especially in the metropolitan region. Regarding the space, it was seen that most of the municipalities with the lower ratio are located at the ends of the map. Knowing the cytopathological ratio indicator in the regions of the State is fundamental for the management of health in that State, in order to better qualify practitioners and to establish specific goals for the evaluation of coverage of cervical cancer.
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

O câncer de colo do útero é um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo. Sua triagem através do exame de papanicolau é crucial para a prevenção e detecção precoce.

OBJETIVO:

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a relação de papanicolau nas regiões do Rio Grande do Norte de 2008 a 2014, e descrever as regiões com menor e maior rastreamento de câncer do colo do útero de acordo com o espaço.

MÉTODO:

Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, retrospectivo, descritivo e transversal que utilizou dados secundários do SISCOLO/DATASUS. A amostra foi composta pelos 167 municípios do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, divididos pelas oito regiões daquele Estado. Os resultados foram expressos em frequências absolutas e relativas, as diferenças entre os meios foram analisadas pelas provas dos alunos T, nas quais foram consideradas diferenças significativas quando p<0,05. O mapeamento dos resultados foi feito através do programa TabWin 32.

CONCLUSÃO:

A razão média do papanicolau variou consideravelmente entre as regiões do Estado nos anos de 2008 a 2014. Houve queda na média da relação entre os anos de 2008 e 2014, especialmente na região metropolitana. Em relação ao espaço, veram-se que a maioria dos municípios com menor proporção está localizada nas extremidades do mapa. Conhecer o indicador de razão citopatológica nas regiões do Estado é fundamental para a gestão da saúde naquele Estado, a fim de qualificar melhor os profissionais e estabelecer metas específicas para a avaliação da cobertura do câncer do colo do útero.
