  1. *Multiple infection was determined by type specific E6 or E7 PCR.
  2. †P value for the rates of multiple type infections among three areas of China was calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, tobacco, alcohol and pathological stage.
  3. ††P value for the rates of multiple type infections between China and US was calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, tobacco, alcohol and pathological stage.
  4. ‡P value for HPV detection rates among three areas of China was calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, tobacco, alcohol and pathological stage.
  5. ‡‡P value for HPV detection rates between China and US was calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, tobacco, alcohol and pathological stage.
