HPV vaccination coverage rate in women undergoing conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Spain: The COVAR study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Females subjected to cervical excisional therapy (conization) due to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia HSIL/CIN have a higher risk of developing cervical lesions compared to the general population. Research suggests that HPV vaccination may reduce post-treatment HSIL/CIN risk. Since 2014, HPV vaccination is recommended and funded in Spain at regional level for women who had undergone treatment for cervical precancerous lesions (HSIL/CIN2-3 or any other potentially tumoral cytohistological alteration). In 2018, the Ministry of Health standardized the recommendations but the vaccination coverage rate (VCR) for this population has not been published. The COVAR Study aimed to estimate the annual HPV VCR among women undergoing coniz
