^aValues indicate the number of samples.

^bTwo of these results were not obtained at the same time as the sample for HPV analysis was obtained.

^cThree of these results were not obtained at the same moment as the sample for HPV analysis was obtained; one of these samples was a vagina top smear. BMD, borderline or mild dyskaryosis.
