Number of women found with high grade lesion (CIN2+) and number of women referred back to the screening program (<CIN2).

¹⁾Prevalence CIN2+ 23.2% (95% CI, 18.4, 28.0).

²⁾<CIN2 includes women with a histological diagnosis of CIN1 or CIN0 (n = 53) and women referred back to screening because of two normal follow-up smears 12 months apart or one normal LBC and a negative HPV result (n = 175).

³⁾Chi square  =  151.2, p<0.001.
