Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What is the five-year risk of developing cervical cancer in HPV-positive women with low-grade cytological abnormalities?
Does the presence of subsequent low-grade cytology affect the five-year risk of cervical cancer in this population?
Researchers will compare the risk of cervical cancer in HPV-positive women with low-grade abnormalities to women with stable negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) cytology, since women with stable NILM are discharged from further follow-up back to the screening programme. This will help evaluate whether follow-up intensity can be reduced in women with low-grade abnormalities.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cohort low-grade cytological abnormalities
Women who participated in the population-based cervical cancer screening program in the Netherlands between January 2017 and December 2018 who were HPV positive and with cytology results atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), atypical glandular cells of endocervical origin (AGC), or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) according to the Bethesda system.
No interventions assigned to this group
Cohort HPV positive and no cervical abnormalities
Women who participated in the population-based cervical cancer screening program in the Netherlands between January 2017 and December 2018 who were HPV positive and with a stable cytology result negative for intra-epithelial neoplasia according to the Bethesda system.
No interventions assigned to this group
