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

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
