Replication Code for HPV Intermittence and Cytological Risk Analysis

Featuring replication code in SAS and R for a study on human papillomavirus intermittence, redetections, and associated cytological abnormality risk. The code is provided for reproducibility, as the underlying participant data from the Ludwig-McGill cohort study is not publicly available due to confidentiality restrictions.

Use Cases

• Reproduce statistical analyses on HPV intermittence and redetection patterns using the provided SAS and R code.
• Validate the study's findings on the association between HPV redetections and cytological abnormality risk by executing the replication scripts.
• Use the documented code structure as a template for analyzing similar longitudinal cohort data on viral infections.

Strengths

• Code is provided in both SAS and R formats for interoperability.
• The replication package is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed study on HPV and cytological risk.
• Text versions (.txt) of the program files are included for broader accessibility.

Limitations

• The underlying participant data is not included; access requires contacting the study authors.
• The dataset consists solely of code, with no actual clinical or demographic data rows for analysis.
• The scope is limited to replicating the specific analyses from the original study.
