There are limited data on HPV detection in vaginal liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimens. The aims of this study were to determine whether adjunctive high-risk (HR)-HPV testing is useful for disease risk assessment in women with vaginal atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H) Pap results. We identified 1,125 ASC-US and 36 ASC-H vaginal Pap results with HR-HPV testing. Of the cases, 244 (21.7%) ASC-US and 21 (58%) ASC-H were HR-HPV+. Among ASC-US HR-HPV+ cases, 47.8% had a squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) compared with 4.7% of HR-HPV\u2013 cases. Among ASC-H HR-HPV+ cases, 75% (12\/16) had SIL compared with 31% (4\/13) in HR-HPV\u2013 cases. Our results indicate that HPV triage testing is a reasonable and cost-effective approach for women with ASC-US vaginal Pap results and also a useful option for women with ASC-H vaginal Pap results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1309\/ajcp9to1omxlddpi","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,15]],"date-time":"2012-02-15T15:09:21Z","timestamp":1329318561000},"page":"437-443","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Correlation
