not quite statistically significantp = 0.0447
Multivariate analysis showed patients’ age, positive endocervical and overall excision margins and worse definitive histological diagnosis (high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or invasive carcinoma) to be statistically significant (p < 0.001) in predicting higher recurrence/persistence rate, whereas positive ectocervical excision margin was not quite statistically significant (p = 0.0447) and cone depth was not statistically significant at all (p = 0.181).
