Purpose: This study is planned to correlate the diagnostic efficacy of Modified Reids Colposcopic index with colposcopic results

Materials & Methods: This was a prospective in which colposcopy was carried out using Modified Reids colposcopic index (RCI) scoring system in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 500 patients from October 2017 to April 2019.

Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value Modified RCI for Low grade lesion (LGL) was 92.8%,69.80%, 66.2%  and 87.5% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Modified RCI for High grade lesion(HGL ) was 89.5%, 81.5%, 69.4%  and 85.7% respectively.

Conclusion: Modified Reids Colposcopic Index system is consistent, has a simple structure, the only drawback being possibility of over interpretation of low grade lesions which regresses in due course of time with treatment/ observational follow up.

Keywords: Modified Reids Colposcopic Index, colposcopy, biopsy, efficacy.
