Immediate histopathologic correlation in Turkish population with negative cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus positivity: A retrospective analysis of high-risk human papillomavirus genotype and stratified by age.

We suggested that the follow-up recommendations of ASCCP for patients above the age of 30 with negative cytology and other hrHPV positivity may not be fully applicable to countries like Turkey with a different healthcare environment. Referring to patients ≥30 who had other hrHPV positivity and negative cytology to direct colposcopy may be clinically beneficial, particularly in populations where a colposcopic examination is easy and inexpensive.
