LBC, liquid‐based cytology; CA, control arm; SA, safety arm; NT, not tested; NILM, negative for intraepithelial lesions and malignancy; ASCH, atypical squamous cells, cannot rule out high‐grade; ATYENNEO, atypical endocervical cells, favour neoplastic; LSIL, low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; ATYEMET, atypical endometrial cells; HSIL, high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion

a

HPV16 and 18 were identified by the cobas 4800 HPV test; other HPV types were identified by the Linear Array HPV Genotyping test.

b

Hybrid capture 2 relative light unit/cutoff ratios were used as a surrogate for HPV viral load, where the threshold for a positive test was ≥1.0; higher ratios indicate a higher viral load.
