The aim of the present study was to study the impact of wider rollout of HPV triage for women with low-grade cytology on colposcopy referral and outcomes.
The difference in HPV-positive rates between the centres involved in this project highlights the inter-laboratory variation in grade classification, which will be reflected in any wider rollout of HPV triage around the country, in terms of rates of referral to colposcopy.
