This is a comparative study on the adequacy of cervical smears obtained using the Papcone® sampling device or wooden Ayre's spatula conducted from two tertiary health facilities -- Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital Awka, in Anambra State, Nigeria. Slides from smears obtained using both devices were read by a cytopathologist blinded for the study. The primary outcome was the proportion of smears with an adequate endocervical component. Significantly higher adequate cervical smears were obtained in 177/192 (92.2%) women using the Papcone® sampling device, compared to 152/192 (79.2%) using wooden Ayre's spatula (p < 0.001). Kappa analysis showed moderate inter-rater agreement between the two devices. We recommend the use of the Papcone device when it is available, as the adequacy of cervical smears obtained with the Papcone® was better than that obtained using wooden Ayre's spatula.
