  1. Additional description: Compared with single colposcopic results, the integration of colposcopic results with abnormal screening results (i.e., HPV and/or cytology) is more likely to identify HSIL + cases.
  2. Abbreviations: CI confidence interval, HSIL +  High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse, TZ Transformation zone
