• Endocervical cells—Detected/Insufficient
• Inflammation/Obscuration—less than 50% (Satisfactory), between 50–75% (SBLB), or

• Ranking information. All successfully processed slides having an action of Review or QC
Review receive a group (or quintile) ranking, an individual ranking within the print set,
and each individual rank expressed as a percentage of the total of all Review slides.
• For the group ranking, slides are assigned to a numerical quintile between 1 and 5.
Within the print set, the 1st quintile contains the 20% of slides most likely to contain
abnormalities, the 2nd quintile contains the 20% of slides next most likely to contain
abnormalities, and so on, with the 5th quintile containing the 20% of the slides least likely
to contain abnormalities.
• Each slide receives an individual rank from 1 to n, where a rank of 1 indicates a slide
most likely to contain abnormality and n is the slide least likely to contain abnormality
(n is the number of Review slides in a print set, minus the scant cellularity slides). For
example, the second slide listed on this report received an individual rank of 33/109, or
33 out of 109. For additional details, see Section 10.4.1.
• The percentage value is the individual rank expressed as a percentage of the total of n.
