NOTE: The ORs and 95% CIs for the associations between genus-specific HPV seroreactivity and SCC, along with the P value for trend for SCC risk associated with seropositivity to an increasing number of HPV types within a given genus. In addition, for comparison purposes, the ORs and 95% CIs for the associations between 2 human polyomaviruses (JCV and KIV) and SCC are also presented.

a

OR and 95% CI adjusted for age and sex.

b

P value for β-coefficient corresponding to HPV term in logistic regression model.
