Estimated colposcopy outcomes in different triage strategies for HPV 16/18 positive women in primary HPV-based screening
In the study, triage model M1 required 152 colposcopies, 0 cases were missed and 43 HSIL/CIN2+ cases were detected, in triage model M1A 95/1/42, and in triage model M2 92/1/42, respectively. The missed HSIL/CIN2+ cases were caused by no indications for colposcopy according to the management applied for each of the models. The full results, including PPV values, for the 3 studied models and all the results sets are shown in Table 2.
