---|---|---|---|
HPV-positive in any smear | 45/189 (23.8%) | 44/378 (11.6%) | p < 0.001 |
HPV-positive in both smears | 13/181 (7.2%) | 10/369 (2.7%) | p < 0.01 |
HPV-negative in first smear and HPV-positive in second smear | 14/181 (8.7%) | 10/369 (2.7%) | p < 0.01 |
HPV-positive in first smear and HPV-negative in second smear | 17/181 (9.4%) | 23/369 (6.2%) | n.s. (p=0.09) |
HPV-types identified in any smear | 34/189 (18%) | 31/378 (8.2%) | |
As proportion of HPV positives | 34/45 (76%) | 31/44 (70%) | |
Different HPV-types in both samples | 2/181 (1.1%) | 1/369 (0.3%) | n.s. (p = 0.26) |
Same HPV-types in both samples | 8/181 (4.4%) | 4/369 (1.1%) | p = 0.02 |
As proportion of HPV+ in both smears | 8/13 (61%) | 4/10 (40%) | n.s. |
Descriptive data and comparison between cases and controls. The denominator differs since not all women were represented by two samples.
n.s. = not significant.
