  1. aNot including four women with missing data on age
  2. bCIN2+ and CIN3+ include a total of four cases of squamous cell carcinoma (two of them were in 49-year old women, one in a 47-year old woman, and one in a 33-year old woman; all four cases were diagnosed on biopsy). We also presumptively included five women with OncoE6 HPV 16 positivity because of the known high positive predictive value of the biomarker (Three of the five had confirmed CIN2+; in two LLETZ was recommended and is still incomplete)
  3. cHistopathology report was not completed for four participants due to COVID-19 pandemic spread and lockdown. These four participants were excluded from the denominator
