Categories of prevention
Primary prevention targets individuals who may be at risk to develop a medical condition and intervenes to prevent the onset of that condition (e.g., childhood vaccination programs, water fluoridation, antismoking programs, and education about safe sex).
Secondary prevention targets individuals who have developed an asymptomatic disease and institutes treatment to prevent complications (e.g., routine Papanicolaou smears, and screening for hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia).
Tertiary prevention targets individuals with a known disease, with the goal of limiting or preventing future complications (e.g., screening diabetics for microalbuminuria, rigorous treatment of diabetes mellitus, and post-myocardial infarction prophylaxis with β-blockers and aspirin).
67
Evaluating patients with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS)
(1) colposcopy
(2) endocervical curettage;
endometrial sampling is recommended in women 35 years of age or older, and in those with AGUS favoring neoplasia or suggesting an endometrial source.
