Results: The age distribution of the 9982 cases included in the study was between 17-91 and the mean age was 43.98±12.21. Results of a total of 9572 (95.89%) women were found to be normal. In the present study, the abnormal smear rate was 1.97%; The rates of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and atypical glandular cells were 0.98%, 0.25%, 0.56%, 0.17% and 0.01%, respectively. Conclusion: In this study, the abnormal smear rate (1.97%) was found to be higher than the study of the Turkish Cervical Cancer and Cervical Cytology Research Group, which included 33 centers published in 2009. This might be due to Pamukkale University is a center where Cancer Early Diagnosis Screening and Education Center refers risky patients. New multicenter studies that will enable the development of more effective and widespread screening strategies by updating the abnormal smear rate in Turkey are required.
