Participants counted as “progressed” on first instance of a progression event, Histology was preferred over cytology to categorize progression events, but cytology alone was used in the absence of confirmatory histology. Of the progression events, 6 eventually progressed to CIN3 later in follow-up (3 CIN2, 2 ASC-H, and 1 HSIL); however, all were counted as “progression” events earlier in their disease course per study protocol.
