The Hybrid Capture 2 (hc2) and cobas HPV tests showed high agreement for cervical samples (94.4%, κ=0.72, n=693) and moderate agreement for vaginal samples (κ=0.62, n=108). The HPV16 and HPV18 results were highly consistent between the cobas and Linear Array tests (κ≥0.96, n=197). Three hc2-negative vaginal samples were repeatedly invalid by the cobas test due to β-globin control ...[more]
