In this issue of Cancer Cytopathology , Renshaw et al. examine blinded review of Papanicolaou smears in the context of litigation and provide a detailed statistical analysis of this process. They also examine the sample size required to validate the blinded review statistically to detect various differences in case difficulty or ease of detection. See also pages 136–41, this issue.
