Table 2. Outcomes for different triage arms of hrHPV testing positive in rural sites and urban sites.

Variables n (%) (95% CI)
Rural sites Urban sites
Direct COLP (N=852) LBC triage (N=218) VIA/VILI triage (N=480) Direct COLP for HPV 16/18+ (N=408) Direct COLP for other hrHPV subtypes+ (N=571) LBC triage for other hrHPV subtypes+ (N=568)
hrHPV, high-risk human papillomavirus; CIN, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; COLP, referral to colposcopy without triage; LBC, liquid-based cytology; VIA/VILI, visual inspection with acetic acid and Lugol’s iodine.
