Prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV combined with cervical pathological results in women from Sichuan, China: A cross-sectional study based on post-vaccination period 2019 to 2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human papillomavirus (HPV) screening and vaccination exert efficacy in controlling the progression of cervical cancer. Thus, examinations into HPV prevalence, age-stratified specificity, genotype distribution, and their correlation with pathological outcomes can furnish robust evidence for customizing high-quality population screening and management.

Methods

A cohort of 17,923 women attending clinics in the Jintang area, Sichuan, from January 2019 through August 2023 were enrolled in the study. Genotyping of HPV was conducted using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The epidemiology and the relationship between HPV infection and histologic/cytologic abnormalities were subjected to analysis.

Results

HPV infection was identified in 4387 women. The
