Table 2. Up-to-date screening status by woman by screening modality.

Dual screened, n = 24,678; 58.2% (57.1, 59.4) Current for colorectal only, n = 22225.4% (4.9, 5.9)
Pap only, within last 3 years HPV only, within last 5 years Pap and HPV, within last 5 years
Blood stool only,
last year
5.0 (4.3, 5.8) 0.1 (0.001, 0.2) 3.0 (2.5, 3.6) 10.0 (7.7, 13.1)
Sigmoidoscopy only,
last 5 years
0.6 (0.4, 0.8) <0.1% 0.4 (0.3, 0.5) 1.2 (0.6, 2.3)
Colonoscopy only,
last 10 years
54.6 (53.2, 55.9) 1.9 (1.4, 2.5) 27.2 (26.0, 28.3) 83.3 (79.4, 86.6)
Two CRC tests 3.8 (3.4, 4.3) <0.1% 3.3 (2.8, 4.0) 5.5 (3.4, 8.6)
Current for cervical cancer only, n = 10,051
27.1% (26.0, 28.2)
66.5 (64.2, 68.6) 2.9 (2.2, 3.7) 30.7 (28.6, 32.8) 100%
Not current for either, n = 3560; 9.3% (8.7, 9.9)

Women receiving only one of the two screens .

CRC: The left-hand column lists the types of colorectal cancer screening that a woman could report. The far right-hand column presents the weighted screening proportions (95% CI) of women with only CRC screening by that modality. For instance, 10.0% of the 5.4% of women who were only current for CRC indicated they had been screened with a blood stool test within the last year but had no other CRC screen and no other cervical cancer screen. Likewise, 83.3% of the 5.4% of women who were only current on CRC screening (but had no other CRC screen and no other cervical cancer screen) indicated that they had a colonoscopy within the past 10 years.

Cervical: The second to bottom row indicates the weighted screening proportions (95% CI) of women who only were up- to -date with cervical cancer screening by the columnar headings for types of cervical cancer screening modalities. For instance, 66.5% of the 27.1% of women who only had cervical cancer screening received a Pap test within the past 3 years. Likewise, 30.7% of the 27.1% of women who only had cervical cancer screening had received co-testing within the past 5 years.

Women who had both screens by modality .

The top row indicates that 58.2% of all women were up-to-date with both cervical cancer and colorectal cancer screening (dual-screening). The inner 12 cells indicate the weighted percentage of women with dual-screening by modality. For instance, 54.6% of the 58.2% of women having both screens up-to-date did so with a colonoscopy and a Pap test. Likewise, 27.4% of 58.7% of women having both screens up-to-date did so with colonoscopy and cotesting.

Women not up-to-date with either screen .

The bottom row indicates that 9.3% of the analytic cohort received neither screen because of underscreening or no screening.

CI, confidence interval; CRC, colorectal cancer.
