aAge-standardized proportion of HPV types among cervical cancer cases that were screened in the last 10 years.

bAge-standardized proportion of HPV types among cervical cancer cases that were unscreened in the last 10 years.

cAge-standardized proportion of HPV types in women population.

dEstimated number of cases in 2011 in the pseudo-scenario that all women were screened. Calculated by number of cases per year during 2002–2011 (425) multiplied by incidence rate ratio between screened and the population (8.4/9.9 as shown in Fig 2) and multiplied by age-standardized proportion of HPV types among cervical cancer cases that were screened in the last 10 years.

eEstimated number of cases in 2011 in the pseudo-scenario that all women were unscreened. Calculated by number of cases per year during 2002–2011 (425) multiplied by incidence rate ratio between unscreened and the population (25.6/9.9 as shown in Fig 2), multiplied by age-standardized proportion of HPV types among cervical cancer cases that were unscreened in the last 10 years.

fCalculated as total number of women aged 23–64 years (2,536,995) multiplied by age-standardized proportion of HPV types in women population.

gCalculated as total number of women aged 23–64 years (2,536,995) divided by the difference between number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were unscreened and number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were screened

hCalculated as total number of women aged 23–64 years (2,536,995) divided by number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were screened.

iCalculated as estimated number of women in population for each HPV type divided by the difference between number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were unscreened and number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were screened.

jCalculated as estimated number of women in population for each HPV type divided by number of cases in the pseudo-scenario that all women were screened.

kInterpretation should be that among every X number of women in screening population, one cervical cancer case caused by a certain HPV type can be detected or prevented.
