  • *Patients were often on multiple drug regimens and thus the numbers are greater than the total sum of patients. Immunosuppression regimen at the time of abnormal first pap smear is reported.

  • †Numbers calculated from the total population of patients alive at the time of assessment.

  • BOS, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome; CF, cystic fibrosis; CMV, cytomegalovirus; HPV, human papillomavirus.
