PPV for CIN2+ at 24 months, persistent hrHPV+ NA NA 117 (10) 1144 NA NA

See supplementary figure 1A for hrHPV testing details.

NA=not applicable; hrHPV=high risk human papillomavirus; PPV=positive predictive value; CIN2+= cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse.

For clearance (=1-persistence), the unadjusted odds ratio was 0.57 (95% CI 0.52 to 0.63), and the adjusted odds ratio was 0.58 (95% CI 0.53 to 0.64).
