HPV vaccination among seropositive, DNA negative cohorts: a systematic review & meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Vaccine efficacy among previously exposed, but currently uninfected women, i.e., those who have serological evidence of a prior human papillomavirus (HPV) infection without corresponding detectable HPV DNA, remains incompletely defined. This meta-analysis assessed the serotype-specific efficacy of prophylactic HPV vaccination against HPV16/18 persistent infection (PI) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) among seropositive, DNA negative (SPDN) women enrolled to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of HPV L1-based vaccines.

Methods

Searches were conducted on 08/16/20 on MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and CENTRAL. RCTs of L1-based prophylactic bivalent or quadrivalent HPV vaccines, reporting serotype-specific clinical efficacy endpoints in the HPV16/18 seropositive,
