Cervical Cancer Screening means a promising strategy for a reduction in malignant neoplasm incidences and mortality related to it. Laboratory inconsistencies related to pap test affect the evaluation of the exam and delay the return of results to patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the laboratory inconsistencies of pap tests carried out in basic care units. A cross-study of laboratory inconsistencies of pap tests, carried out on women aged 25-64 years, attended by the basic care network, between 2014 and 2015, in programme area 5.1, in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. It was carried out 24801 pap tests in 2014, and 32626 in 2015, within the age group, representing a ratio of 0,53 and 0,41, respectively. In the 1st quarter of 2014, it was registered a percentage of 14,37% inconsistencies per pap requested tests; in the 2nd, 5,39%; in the 3rd, 4,11% and in the 4th, 3,11%. It was observed a decrease in this ratio in 2015 quarters, being registered 1,59% in the 1st; 0,97% in the 2nd; 0,28% in the 3rd and 0,52% in the 4th quarter. It can be seen a significant decrease in the ratio of registered inconsistencies during the assessed period, as complying with the goal of > 1,0% established by SMS – RJ. Identify the temporal evolution of laboratory inconsistencies related to pap tests, carried out on women within the age group, benefits action planning that affects the work process in order to reduce access obstacles and to enable early diagnosis.
