The screening algorithm selected for modeling involved primary screening with the high-risk HPV test and triaging of the HPV-positive women with liquid-based cytology (LBC). The sensitivity of HPV DNA testing was assumed to be 90% for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2, 94% for...
We used their relative risk values for and absolute differences in (Δ) sensitivity and specificity for any paired alternative screening algorithms (e.g., a standalone test vs. a combination algorithm) as measures of comparative accuracy. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed visually by using ...
A randomised trial of the impact of new faecal haemoglobin test technologies on population participation in screening for colorectal cancer. Objectives: To investigate the effect on participation in colorectal cancer screening of testing for blood products in faeces using technologies that remov... Cole...
BACKGROUND: To document the effect of bivalent HPV immunisation on cervical cytology as a screening test and assess the implications of any change, using a retrospective analysis of routinely collected data from the Scottish Cervical Screening Programme (SCSP). METHODS: Data were extracted from the ...
"Without a considerable increase in already stressed colposcopy resources, waiting times for colposcopy are likely to increase considerably when HPV testing is introduced. Because of this, we believe it is possible the primary HPV new screening algorithm may cost the Government more than it currently...
Top of pageMATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS DISCUSSION CONCLUSIONS Acknowledgements REFERENCES BACKGROUND The authors evaluated direct visual inspection of the cervix after the application of 5% acetic acid (DVI) as a cervical cancer screening test for use in low-resource settings. METHODS Four tests were...
These women were referred at 24 months if cytology was abnormal and/or the hrHPV test was positive. Women with normal cytology who were not included in the subcohort were recalled at the next screening round after 5 years as part of the routine screening programme. Of the women who were ...
