Table 3.: Groups for Statistical Evaluation. The Different HPV Detection Methods were Evaluated Either Individually (I) and/or Collectively (C)

1 High-risk HPV positive vs high-risk HPV negative I + C
2 HPV 16 vs HPV 18 vs other HPV types vs multiple HPV vs HPV negative I + C
3 HPV 16 vs all other HPV positives and negatives I + C
4 HPV 18 vs all other HPV positives and negatives I + C
5 HPV 16/18 vs all other HPV positives and negatives I + C
6 HPV 16 vs HPV 18 I + C
7 HPV 16 vs HPV 18 vs all other HPV positives and negatives I + C
8 High-risk HPV vs HPV 6, 26, 66, 69, 73 vs HPV negative C
9 HPV 6, 26, 66, 69, 73 vs HPV negative C
10 Single vs multiple infections C
11 HPV punctuate signal vs HPV punctuate/diffuse signal vs HPV negative I (ISH)
12 HPV 16 punctuate signal vs HPV 16 punctuate/diffuse signal vs HPV 16 negative. I (ISH)

High-risk HPV = HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52 and 58.
