Screening resultsAll people screened in round 1 (n=3489)All people screened in round 2 (n=4075)People screened in rounds 1 and 2 (n=2124)People screened only in round 1 (n=1365)People screened only in round 2 (n=1951)
*The proportion of people passing screening in round 1 who were also screened in round 2 was not significantly lower than the proportion passing screening in round 1 who were not screened in round 2.
†The proportion of people passing screening in round 2 who were also screened in round 1 was significantly lower than the proportiin passing screening in round 2 who were not screened in round 1 (χ2 = 39.7, df = 2, p<0.0001).
‡Age was missing for 1 patient.
§Mean age of patients screened in both rounds was significantly higher than patients screened in round 1 inly (difference = −3.33 years, 95% CI = −4.6 to –2.1, p<0.0001) and patients screened in round 2 only (difference = −9.40 years, 95% CI = −10.4 to −8.4, p<0.0001).
