Table 4: Comparison of data from the PAP smear results of the under 21-year-old group and the rest of the population (21 - 65 years of age) and statistical analysis. The results are grouped by non-pathological versus abnormal (cervical atypia, low grade and high grade SIL). NS = Non-significant. PAP = papanicolaou test; LGSIL = low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; HGSIL = high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.
