High risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) testing in the lavages taken by the doctor by the patient compared with HPV testing in the smear
| Smear | ||
|---|---|---|
| Test result | HR-HPV positive | HR-HPV negative |
| β Globin PCR negative indicates no amplifiable DNA for HPV testing in specimen. Agreement between HPV testing in lavage taken by doctor and smear: κ=0.82; agreement between lavage taken by patient and smear: κ=0.53; agreement between lavage taken by doctor and lavage taken by patient: κ=0.47. | ||
