Stratified HSIL+ diagnostic yield. The results for HSIL+ detected by ECC and biopsy when stratified by age group, cytology, HPV status, colposcopic impression, and lesion area. Abbreviation: ASC-US: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; ASC-H: atypical squamous cells that cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; ECC: endocervical curettage; HSIL: high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; HSIL+ : high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse; <HSIL included normal and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; HPV: human papillomavirus; LSIL: low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; NILM: negative for intraepithelial lesions or malignancy; TZ: transformation zone; HSIL + diagnostic yield by biopsy: HSIL+ cases that would have been detected by biopsy but missed by ECC alone. HSIL+ diagnostic yield by both biopsy and ECC: Cases that ECC and biopsy results are HSIL+. HSIL+ diagnostic yield by ECC: HSIL+ cases that would have been detected by ECC but missed by biopsy alone. HSIL+ diagnostic yield totally: HSIL+ cases that would have been detected by ECC and biopsy
