Cells with boldface type indicate agreement for the number of HPV genotypes(although not necessarily the same HPV genotypes). For all categories, P was <0.0001, symmetry χ2; PTrend < 0.0001; kappa was 0.53; percent total agreement was 64.0%. Restricted to HPV positive by both assays, P was <0.0001, symmetry χ2; PTrend was <0.0001; kappa was 0.48; percent total agreement was 61.0%.
