Incomplete follow-up of positive HPV tests: overview of randomised controlled trials on primary cervical screening

摘要

Background:It has been suggested that adjustment for incomplete compliance with follow-up in women with positive human papillomavirus (HPV) tests would be appropriate for estimating the true sensitivity of cervical screening with HPV testing. We assessed the compliance and its impact on CIN3 detection in all eight randomised controlled trials (RCT) with published baseline-round data.
