The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has been accused of “skewing” the results of its review of CervicalCheck by including cases where a woman’s full slide history was not available. Concordant means the result of the review agreed with the original test finding by CervicalCheck. The review published on Tuesday found a discordant result in a third of cases reviewed – 308 out of 1,034 women. The RCOG spokeswoman said mislabelling occurred “after completion of the slide review and therefore had no bearing on any individual report”. The RCOG review team is expected to appear before the Oireachtas health committee later this month.
