Clinical performance of the Roche Cobas 4800 HPV test for primary cervical cancer screening in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) testing has become an increasing important strategy in primary cervical cancer screening in recent years. It warrants the evaluation of molecular-based HPV tests for accuracy and efficacy of screening. The performance of Roche Cobas 4800 HPV test was validated and compared with Digene Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) high-risk HPV DNA test for primary screening in a large Chinese screening cohort. Of 6345 women screened, overall agreement between Cobas and HC2 was 92.23% (95% CI: 91.57-92.89). The inter-assay agreement was correlated with the severity of underlying biology, with an increasing concordance found in samples with more severe abnormalities. Most of the discordant samples had the test signal strength closer to the test limits of the detection than c
