Meta-analysis on prevalence and attribution of human papillomavirus types 52 and 58 in cervical neoplasia worldwide.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To estimate the prevalence and attribution of two non-vaccine-covered HPV types (HPV52 and HPV58) across the world.

Methods

Meta-analysis on studies reported in English and Chinese between 1994 and 2012.

Results

The pooled prevalence and attribution rates of HPV52 and HPV58 in invasive cervical cancers were significantly higher in Eastern Asia compared to other regions (HPV52 prevalence: 5.7% vs. 1.8-3.6%, P<0.001; HPV52 attribution: 3.7% vs. 0.2-2.0%; HPV58 prevalence: 9.8% vs. 1.1-2.5%, P<0.001; HPV58 attribution: 6.4% vs. 0.7-2.2%, P<0.001). Oceania has an insufficient number of studies to ascertain the prevalence of HPV52. Within Eastern Asia, the attribution of HPV58 to invasive cervical cancer was 1.8-fold higher than that of HPV52. Similarly, HPV52 an
