Table 3: Comparison of data from the PAP smear test results of the under 21 year old group and the 21 - 25 year old group and statistical analysis. The results are grouped by no pathology with dysplasia (benign/equivocal pathology including Atypia, Koilocytosis, ASCUS, usually no treatment required) versus low grade and high grade SIL. NS = non-significant; PAP = Papanicolaou test; LGSIL = low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; HGSIL = high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.
