Vaccine efficacy using exploratory definition described in the Methods section
Vaccine efficacy against HPV-6/11/16/18-related types for the quadrivalent vaccine
Vaccine efficacy in the ATP cohort for efficacy, regardless of baseline serostatus
Vaccine efficacy restricted to subjects who received ≥1 vaccine dose and, at enrolment, were HPV DNA negative for vaccine and nonvaccine types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58 and 59), seronegative for HPV-6, -11, -16 and -18, and had normal cytology
Vaccine efficacy in the TVC-naive cohort, i.e. women who received ≥1 vaccine dose and, at baseline, were HPV DNA negative for vaccine and nonvaccine types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68/73), seronegative for HPV-16 and -18, and had normal cytology
ATP: according-to-protocol; CI: Confidence Interval; CIN2+: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or more severe disease; n/a: not available; N: number of women in each arm considered in the analysis; TVC: total vaccinated cohort
