FGS
RECRUITMENT
Participants were recruited between December 2020 and February 2021, with examinations and data collection taking place between March and August 2021. Prior to gynaecological examinations and sample collection, six study midwives were trained to perform colposcopy for diagnosing FGS. At recruitment, each participant was assigned a unique identifier to ensure anonymous identification and attribution to each image captured. To each sample, a unique corresponding sample identifier was assigned. Conformity and quality control were performed at laboratory level prior to storage. Background characteristics of the participant, such as socio-demographic information, clinical history, and personal habits were captured in case report form (CRF).All CRFs were checked for missing entries manually by study midwives and researchers following standard operating procedures. Double data entry was used to feed the REDCap
