Benchmarking CIN2+ risks for negative follow-up tests following treatment for CIN2, CIN3 or AIS among women aged 25 and older, to CIN2+ risk thresholds implicitly used to determine clinical management options based on screening Pap tests.

Current recommended management strategy based on Pap-alone screening Implicit risk threshold: 5-year CIN2+ risk (%)1 by baseline Pap-alonea result Women treated for CIN2, CIN3, or AIS aged 25 and older
Follow-up with Pap-alonea
Follow-up with HPV testing-aloneb
Follow-up with cotesting
Pap result(s) 5-year CIN2+ risk after last test HPV test result(s) 5-year CIN2+ risk after last test HPV/Pap result(s) 5-year CIN2+ risk after last test
Immediate colposcopy LSIL: 16%

6–12 month return ASC-US: 6.9% 1 negative Pap 4.2% 1 negative HPV test 3.7%

Intermediate 2 negative Paps 2.7% 2 negative HPV tests 2.7% 1 negative cotest 2.4%

3-year return Pap-: 0.68% 2 negative cotests 1.5%
a

Follow-up Pap result(s) alone (regardless of HPV test result)

b

Follow-up HPV test result(s) alone (regardless of Pap result)
