Compared to cytological screening what was the result of primary hrHPV screening on colposcopy referrals (sensitivity?)?
Compared with the conventional arm, clearly more colposcopy referrals were made in the hrHPV screening arm (RR 1.51, CI 95% 1.03–2.22). As a result of performed colposcopies, a total of 52 histologically confirmed precancerous lesions were detected within the study population: 33 in the hrHPV screening arm and 19 in the conventional arm.
