Abstract
BACKGROUND: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) is the most frequent but ambiguous abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) interpretation and is generally triaged by high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing before colposcopy. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based triage system to predict ASC-US cytology for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+ lesions (CIN2+).
