HPV-FRAME reporting standards for models of cervical screening.

Inputs Reported? (Y/N) Report by age? (Y/N) Comment∗∗
Routine screening behaviour (routine and follow-up and test-of-cure) Y Y Screening age-group, percentage of women who are never screened, and percentage of women not screened.
Clinician-collected vs self-collected sample
Organisation of screening (opportunistic vs programmatic)
Proportion attending (or rate) screening for each age group at specified interval cycles (on-time screening)
Proportion attending (or rate) screening beyond screening intervals i.e. over-screening (important for costs)
Screening test(s) and colposcopy accuracies Y N Report by test result: cytology grade for cytology or HPV type for HPV tests; report on sensitivity and specificity or equivalent specification if test accuracy.
Proportion unsatisfactory tests
Abnormal test management (primary and triage) Y N Distinction of result grade (e.g. cytology grade).
Separate management by test result
Sensitivity and specificity values of cytology or other test result
Diagnostic follow-up of abnormal tests Y N Indication of diagnostic follow-up
Distinct colposcopy and biopsy outcomes
Sensitivity and specificity values of colposcopy
Management by disease grade (confirmed disease) Y N Indication of HSIL management
Distinct HSIL management approaches
Treatment efficacy of treated HSIL
Follow-up of treated disease
Sources of information for screening structure and parameterization Y N Guidelines
Survey or surveillance
Expert opinion/personal communication
Assumption

Abbreviations: HSIL: high grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia

HPV-FRAME core reporting standards are also applicable.

∗∗

Each reporting standard should encompass both primary and secondary tests, where relevant.
