Also, the effect of implementing HPV testing in triage is based on results at the first follow-up after index ASCUS and LSIL.
Study Design: A total of 3488 women with a community-based ASCUS interpretation were randomly assigned to immediate colposcopy, triage that was based on enrollment HPV DNA testing and liquid-based cytology at a colposcopy referral threshold of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), or conservative management based on repeat cytology at a referral threshold of HSIL.
The evaluation of triage precision was based on the assumption that all patients with major injury benefit from assessment by a trauma team upon arrival at hospital.
Surge capacity planning identified the need for a consistent and objective triage system that was based on physiological scores and that was valid, reproducible, and transparent given the likelihood of a need to ration critical care resources [ 4].
A third example is related to the cases that are ASC-US or LGSIL in cytology; if the triage is based only on the cytological examination, all these women should be referred to colposcopy.
In this study, an effect of cytology and HPV testing versus cytology alone on detection of CIN2+ in triage of ASCUS and LSIL was based on the evaluation of all cytology and surgical pathology reports of each woman with CIN2+ included in the study.
The New Technologies for Cervical Cancer Screening trial investigated the usefulness of an earlier version of the p16 cytology test for triaging HPV-positive women that was based on the p16 biomarker only (i.e., no p16/Ki-67 p16/Ki-67ning) in combination with morphology interpretation of immunoreactive cells (Carozzi et al, 2013).
The priority grade was based on initial triage performed by nurse upon initial contact [ 8], and did not necessarily reflect the actual need of all patients.
The study population was based on clinic attendees who are triaged into the service based on risk assessment and/or the presence of symptoms as demonstrated by the positivity of 6%, 7% and 5% for MSM, heterosexual men and women, respectively.
First, our study was based on a referral population that was triaged for colposcopy.
