The authors evaluate the results of a videocolposcopy test (330 total cases, 12 cases of histologically confirmed CIN2 or more severe lesions) taken by 9 accredited and 17 unaccredited colposcopists during 1995. Seven of 9 accredited and 4 of 13 unaccredited colposcopists reached the requested standard (sensitivity > 90%, biopsy rate < 60%). Performance was definitely better when the test was not blind to the cytologic report (4 of 13 reached the requested standard) with respect to blind reading (none of 17). The study confirmed that colposcopy at unaccredited practices is poorly accurate. Colposcopic assessment of patients with abnormal smears should be centralized in accredited practices, which should undergo periodic quality control to guarantee screening efficacy. Tape-recorded videocolposcopy tests are a good, simple, practical and inexpensive method for interobserver quality control of colposcopic performance.
