  1. TP true positive, TN true negative, FP false positive, FN false negative, SE sensitivity, SP specificity, AU = AUROC = accuracy = (SE+SP)/2, PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value, ASC-US+ = ASC-US, LSIL, ASC-H and HSIL, CIN2+ = CIN2, CIN3 and cancer
  2. 1Significantly higher than the average (p<0.05)
  3. 2Significantly lower than the average (p<0.05)
