==Maturation index== | |||
===Definition=== | |||
<math>MI = P : I : S </math>. | |||
Where: | |||
*P = number of parabasal cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %. | |||
*I = number of intermediate cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %. | |||
*S = number of superficial cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %. | |||
===Interpretation=== | |||
Common patterns: | |||
*Superficial predominant, no parabasal = high estrogen effect. | |||
*Parabasal predominant, no superficial = atrophy. | |||
