At the threshold of CIN3+ HPV testing had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI 76.8%–100.0%), which was higher than the sensitivity of cytology [ASCUS+: 64.3% (95% CI 35.1%–87.2%)] but the difference did not reach statistical significance.

The sentences
By combining genotyping with cytology, testing positive for HPV16 or ASCUS+ cytology, as well as testing positive for HPV16 or HPV18 or ASCUS+ cytology had a markedly higher sensitivity of 75.6% (95% CI 65.4%–88.8%) and 92.6% (95% CI 91.8%–93.5%) respectively than ASCUS+ alone, the former being marginally significant and the latter being clearly significant and the highest among all test combinations.
