Relation of XXXX as determined by a screening program.

@entity5 @entity1 @entity189 @entity277
This study attempted to elucidate the etiology of @entity5 by examining its association with a number of factors in a relatively unselected group of @entity1 . In 1963, a cytologic screening program was undertaken in Washington County, Maryland. The irrigation smear method was used. The final study group of 4341 was 46% of all white @entity1 aged 30-45 years enumerated in the census. Of the 4290 satisfactory smears, 46 were positive or suspicious. Subsequent investigation confirmed 31 cases of which 28 were at Stage 0 and 3 were invasive @entity189 . Of 15 with suspicious cytologic findings 6 had confirmed findings, all of which were at Stage 0. @entity1 who were never married had no confirmed cases. Currently-married @entity1 had lower rates than @entity1 whose marriages had been disrupted. Those who were married at age 16 or earlier had higher rates of @entity5 as did those from lower socioeconomic levels. Having had multiple sex partners was associated with an increased risk of developing @entity5 . Smokers had slightly higher rates than nonsmokers. Trichomonas @entity277 was associated with higher rates. Findings indicate that trichomoniasis and @entity5 are both associated with sexual activity.
