Comparable detection of HPV using real-time PCR in paired cervical samples and concentrated first-stream urine collected with Colli-Pee device
We compared high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) detection on first-stream urine from self-sampled collection device (Colli-Pee) and same-day clinician-collected cervical swab in 240 women. Testing with automated cobas 4800 system showed 96.7 % concordance (198 concordant-negative, 34 concordant-positive, Cohen's kappa=0.87). HPV testing on Colli-Pee urine offers advantages for acceptable non-invasive HPV screening.
