  1. † Note that this table summarises the finding for sensitivity and specificity in the original study populations, taking into account the relative proportions of CIN1, 2 and 3 in the population. However, the model implementation used these data to derive a test probability matrix separately describing the relationship between each health state (Normal; PCR HPV positive; CIN1, CIN2, CIN3+, etc.) and each test, rather than utilising the study sensitivity and specificity estimates directly, as described in the text [3, 5, 6].
