| Short name: | PI22b-Proportion of regular clients who have had a cervical screening, 2020–2021 |
| METEOR identifier: | 717358 |
| Registration status: |
|
| Description: | Proportion of female regular clients who are Indigenous, aged 20 to 74, who have not had a hysterectomy and who have had a cervical screening (either Papanicolaou smear (Pap test) or human papillomavirus (HPV) test) within the previous 2 years, 3 years and 5 years. |
| Rationale: | Cancer mortality rates are higher for Indigenous Australians than for Other Australians. Higher participation in cervical screening means that more women with precancerous abnormalities can be detected and treated, which is necessary for achieving the overall aim of reducing incidence and mortality from cervical cancer (AIHW 2017). |

| Computation description: | Proportion of regular clients who are Indigenous, aged 20 to 74, who have not had a hysterectomy and who have had a cervical screening (either Pap test or HPV test) within the previous 2 years, 3 years and 5 years. ‘Regular client’ refers to a client of an Australian Government Department of Health-funded primary health-care service (that is required to report against the Indigenous primary health care key performance indicators) who has an active medical record; that is, a client who has attended the Department of Health-funded primary health-care service at least 3 times in 2 years. Count is of women, not tests. A Pap test is a test that detects abnormal cell changes. An HPV test is a test that detects persistent HPV infection that causes the abnormal cell changes prior to the development of cervical cancer. Include either Pap tests conducted prior to 1 December 2017 or HPV tests conducted from 1 December 2017. Include HPV tests where the sample is either collected by a health practitioner or self-collected. Presented as a percentage. Calculated separately for women who have had a cervical screening within the previous 2 years, the previous 3 years and/or the previous 5 years. |
