Clinical Study

Long-Term Clinical Outcome after Treatment for High-Grade Cervical Lesions: A Retrospective Monoinstitutional Cohort Study

Table 2

Multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify predictive factors of the risk of residual or recurrent high-grade lesions in 760 women treated for CIN2+ (upper part) and among 506 women without residual high-grade disease at first follow-up visit who had a HPV test (lower part). Only variables that resulted significant after a forward-stepwise selection are reported.
