^*We assumed additional co-collection costs of €1 (for conventional cytology) or €0 (for LBC) to collect the material for a triage HPV test during a primary cytology test.

^**For LBC, the costs are €33.72 for a primary test and €38.49 for a repeat test.

^***The time since the last test can be 0 weeks (in the case of co-collection during the primary test), 2 weeks (if a woman is invited for a repeat test immediately after a positive primary test), 6 or 12 months.

^****We assumed additional co-collection costs of €1 (conventional cytology) or €3 (for LBC) to collect the material for a triage cytology test during a primary HPV test.
