Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of Human papillomavirus (HPV) and the risk of cervical premalignant and malignant diseases in women with cervical erosion.
Materials and Methods: The results of 32649 women who screened for cervical cancer between January 2014 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We compared the results of HPV-positive and HPV-negative women with cervical erosion using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-square test.
Results: Of the 32649 women who had cervical cancer screening, 2566 had cervical erosion, and 1585 (4.85%) had HPV positivity. HPV was found positive in 126 (4.91%) women with cervical erosion, and no significant difference in the incidence of HPV positivity in asymptomatic women with and without cervical erosion (p=0.112). As in the general population, in women with cervical erosions, HPV-16 and HPV-18 were found to be the most common. Abnormal cervical cytology was found in 217 (0.72%) women without cervical erosion and 31 (1.21%) women with cervical erosion, which was significantly higher than in women without cervical erosion (p=0.045). There was no significant difference between those with and without cervical erosion in terms of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, in situ cancer, and total abnormal cervical pathology results.
Conclusion: The incidence of HPV and the likelihood of cervical pathology in asymptomatic women with cervical erosion do not differ from the general population.

Servikal Erozyonu Olan Hastalarda HPV Prevalansı ve Premalign Malign Lezyon Riski: Populasyon Bazlı Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Servikal erozyonu olan hastalarda HPV’nin prevalansı ve servikal premalign ve malign hastalık riskini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2014-Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında serviks kanseri taraması yapılan 32649 hastanın HPV testi ve smear sonuçları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Servikal erozyonu olan HPV pozitif v HPV negatif olan kadınların sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Gruplar arasındaki verilerin karşılaştırılmasında Kruskal-Wallis testi ve Ki-kare testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Serviks kanseri taraması yapılan 32649 kadının 2566’sında servikal erozyon, 1585’inde(%4,85) HPV pozitifliği vardı. Servikal erozyonu olan 126 (%4,91) kadında HPV pozitif olarak saptandı. Asemptomatik servikal erozyonu olan ve olmayan kadınlarda HPV pozitifliği görülme sıklığında anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p=0,112). Genel popülasyonda olduğu gibi servikal erozyonu olann kadınlarda yaygın olarak HPV 16 ve 18’in saptandığı görüldü. Servikal erozyonu olmayan kadınların 217’sinde (%0,72) ve servikal erozyonu olan kadınların 31’inde (%1,21) anormal servikal sitoloji saptandı ve bu oran servikal erozyonu olmayan kadınlara göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0,045). Cervical İntraepitelial neopplasia (CIN)-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, İn situ kanser ve toplam anormal servikal sitoloji patoloji sonuçları karşılaştırıldığında servikal erozyonu olanlar ve olmayanlar arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu.
Sonuç: Servikal erozyonu olan Asemptomatik kadınlarda HPV görülme sıklığı ve servikal patoloji görülme olasılığı genel popülasyondan farklı değildir.
