The total triage costs including triage test (excluded HPV16/18 test) cost, referral service cost, colposcopy cost, and pathological examination cost. The cost data (per person) of TCT ($10.23), referral service ($1.55), colposcopy ($9.30), and pathological examination ($24.79) were collected from the published literature.34 The cost of ZNF671m test was calculated according the data in our laboratory ($11.62).
