An additional question that was assessed was whether triage would be useful in light of the relatively high pretriage probability of underlying precancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The pooled absolute sensitivity and specificity of the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) assay for CIN2\u2009+\u2009(derived from 19 studies) were 93% (95% confidence interval [CI], 89%\u201095%) and 45% (95% CI, 41%\u201050%), respectively. p16\n                      <jats:sup>INK4a<\/jats:sup>\n                      staining (only 3 studies) had similar sensitivity (93%; 95% CI, 75%\u2010100%) but superior specificity (specificity ratio, 1.69) to HC2 for CIN2+. Testing for paired box 1 gene methylation (only 1 study) showed a superior specificity of 95% (specificity ratio, 2.08). The average pretest risk was 34% for CIN2\u2009+\u2009and 20% for CIN3+. A negative HC2 result decreased this to 8% and 5%, respectively, whereas a positive result upgraded the risk to 47% and 28%, respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Because of the high probability of precancer with a diagnosis of ASC\u2010H, the utility of triage is limited.
