Table 4b.
Persistence, progression, regression of histopathologic disease among women treated with loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) at baseline compared to women who were not treated with LEEP
| Baseline results* | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treated with LEEP | Not treated with LEEP | |||
| CIN2 n=7 |
CIN3 n=8 |
CIN2 n=2 |
CIN3 n=1 |
|
| Persistence† n (%) | 0 (0) | 2 (25) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |
| Progression‡ n (%) | 0 (0) | -- | 0 (0) | -- |
| Cure/Regression§ n (%) | 7 (100) | 6 (75) | 2 (100) | 1 (100) |
2 of the 20 participants with CIN2 or higher at baseline did not have follow-up pathology results
Persistence: the same abnormal histopathologic diagnosis at baseline and follow-up
Progression: abnormal histopathologic diagnosis at baseline and a worse histopathologic diagnosis at follow-up
Regression: abnormal histopathologic diagnosis at baseline and a less severe or normal histopathologic diagnosis at follow-up
