Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported that some values in Tables 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The correct Tables are as given below:

Table 2

reports the prevalence of cervical abnormalities observed in the sample (N = 599)

Cytological status	n	% of FSW (95%CI)
Normal cytology	512	85.5% (82.4–88.2)
ASC-US	10	1.7% (0.8–3.04)
LSIL	63	10.5% (8.2–13.3)
HSIL	14	2.3% (12.8–3.9)
Excluded samples due to poor cell quality	17	2.8%
