Table 1 Comparison of population characteristics for pilot vs. non-pilot and pilot HPV vs. pilot LBC areas. Pilot areas were defined using the 2013–2015 definition. The comparison of HPV and LBC pilot areas was based on four laboratory sites

  1. Note: In this analysis, the pilot area included 29 CCGs and 18 counties (as relevant), and the non-pilot area included the remaining 178 CCGs and 134 counties and unitary authorities. In the analysis of the pilot HPV testing vs. pilot LBC areas, 21 CCGs and 13 counties and unitary authorities were included (the remaining pilot CCGs/counties belonged to the two excluded pilot laboratories that allocated both screening tests within the same CCGs)
