| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to assess objective measurements of cytopathology fellow performance during their training. METHODS: The authors examined cytopathology performance characteristics (the ratio of atypical squamous cells to squamous intraepithelial lesions [ASC:SIL], interobserver variability [IOV], high-risk human papillomavirus [hr-HPV]-positive atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance [ASC-US]) of cytopathology fellows and assessed whether they could be used as tools to further their education. RESULTS: The ASC:SIL ratio, the proportion of hr-HPV-positive ASC-US, and IOV were calculated for 5 consecutive cytopathology fellows. The average ASC:SIL ratio for the fellows was 1.15. The overall average Cohen κ-coefficient (κ-value) between fellow and cytopathologist interpretation was 0.75 (substantial agreement). The conditional κ-value for ASC-US only was higher for cases the fellows called ASC-US (0.70) than for cases the cytopathologist called ASC-US (0.60). Of the cases that were diagnosed as 'negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy' (NILM) by the fellow and ASC-US by the pathologist, 33.2% were positive for hr-HPV. This was higher than the expected frequency of hr-HPV-positive results in the NILM population, suggesting that the fellows were over-interpreting NILM in hr-HPV-positive cases that had cytologic features sufficient for an ASC-US interpretation. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, agreement was compared between trainee and cytopathologist to determine where a fellow's interpretation differed. With the use of IOV, the ASC:SIL ratio, and the percentage of hr-HPV-positive results in the NILM, ASC-US, and low-grade SIL categories, the authors attempted to outline objective assessments and areas of improvement for fellows before they enter independent practice. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
