Triage of low ‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions using human papillomavirus messenger ribonucleic acid tests—A prospective population‐based register study

ConclusionsIn women with LSIL, Aptima had high sensitivity for CIN2+, but low specificity, especially in women aged<40  years. The Proofer test may be useful to limit immediate colposcopy referrals in younger women with LSIL, but given its low sensitivity and negative predictive value, Proofer negative women must be followed with repeat cytology.
