Comparative clinical performance of Alinity m HR HPV, cobas 4800 HPV, and cobas 6800 HPV for cervical cancer screening.

ABSTRACT: Primary high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is recommended for cervical cancer screening due to its sensitivity and high negative predictive value. Most of the cervical cancers are caused by HPV16 and HPV18, and their presence has been used to guide patient management. Here, we compared the clinical performance of the Alinity m HR HPV, cobas 4800 HPV, and cobas 6800 HPV assays in the context of cervical cancer screening. Clinical sensitivity and specificity were evaluated with 125 ≥CIN3 (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3) cases and 244 controls (≤CIN1). The genotype agreements between the assays were also evaluated for the case and control groups. The clinical sensitivities were 96.0% for Alinity m and cobas 6800 assays, and 95.2% for cobas 4800 assay. The clinical specif
