Assessing the Impact of Methodological Assumptions on Estimated Age of Disease-Causal Human Papillomavirus Infection in US Females
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: We adapted a previous discrete event simulation model to assess the impact of varying time distributions from disease-causal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection to CIN2+ onset on the estimated age distribution of disease-casual infection in the United States. Differences in these assumptions had minimal effect on estimates, underscoring the importance of expanded HPV vaccination.
