CIN: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. RRP: recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. NA: not applicable.

The age groupings refer to age at the time of the causal HPV infection (2018), not the age at which the health outcome was diagnosed.

Costs are in 2019 U.S. dollars. Future costs for each outcome were discounted at an annual rate of 3%. Total costs were rounded to the nearest $1,000.

*

RRP was not included in the HPV-ADVISE model. Costs for RRP included juvenile-onset RRP and adult-onset RRP and were estimated as a fraction (60%) of the costs of genital warts as described in the text.
