We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and area under the curve (AUC) for detecting CIN2/3 or worse (CIN2/3+).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The sensitivity of LBC for detecting CIN2+ was 73.4% (95% CI=60.7%-83.3%) in premenopausal women and 58.8% (95% CI=44.2%-72.1%) in postmenopausal women. In contrast, significantly higher sensitivities were observed for HR-HPV testing and HR-HPV and LBC co-testing, both of which showed sensitivities of 96.9% (95% CI=88.2%-99.5%) in premenopausal women and 98.0% (95% CI=88.2%-99.9%) in postmenopausal women. While HR-HPV and LBC co-testing demonstrated superior specificity compared with HR-HPV testing alone [95.8% (95% CI=95.2%-96.3%) vs. 86.3% (95% CI=85.4%-87.1%) in premenopausal women; 93.7% (95% CI=92.9%-94.3%) vs. 80.6% (95% CI=79.5%-81.7%) in postmenopausal women], it also exhibited the highest PPV for CIN2+ prediction [19.6% (95% CI=15.4%-24.4%) in premenopausal women; 14.5% (95% CI=10.9%-18.6%) in postmenopausal women] compared with LBC or HR-HPV testing alone.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>HR-HPV and LBC co-testing demonstrates comparable high clinical accuracy for detecting CIN2+ in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with a preference for its use in postmenopausal screening.</p>","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":" ","pages":"640-647"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12188816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144016459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
