ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES:
The Paris System (PS) has replaced the classical Papanicolaou System (PapS) in reporting urine cytology, due to its improved sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) without loss of specificity. Furthermore, it has enabled the risk of malignancy to be established in each cytological category. The aim of this study is to compare the Paris System with previous results and determine the changes in sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, NPV and risk of malignancy in our centre, MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Evaluation of the diagnostic power of urine cytology by means of a retrospective cohort study, comparing two series of 400 cytological studies, one using the Papanicolaou System and the other the Paris System.RESULTS:
In the detection of high-grade urothelial carcinoma, Paris System has better specificity (93.82% PapS vs 98.64% PS; P=.001) and PPV (39.5% PapS vs 70.6% PS; P=.044) than Papanicolaou System, without changes in sensitivity (53.5% PapS vs 37.5% PS; P=.299) or NPV (96.4% PapS vs 94.8% PS; P=.183). The risk of malignancy for the atypical category increases from low to high levels (1.6% PapS vs 40.0% PS; P=.001); the other categories showed no significant statistical changes.CONCLUSION:
The Paris System improves specificity and positive predictive value and establishes a better indication of risk of malignancy for each category, enabling specific clinical management in each case.Key words
