Abstract

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are associated with cervical cancer. There were only a few reports and detailed data about epidemiological research of HPV infection in general population of China. Aims To determine the prevalence of genital HPV infection in Chinese women of Guangdong province. Methods A total of 1705 women were screened by gene chip. All HPV-positive women were further examined by ThinPrep liquid-based cytology test (TCT), and the cervical biopsies of those women with positive HPV-DNA and abnormal TCT were collected for pathological diagnosis. Results The overall HPV prevalence was 9.03% (154 of 1705), and 72.3% (126 of 154) of total positive samples were high-risk types, with higher prevalence of types 52, 58, 16, 18 and CP8304. For women aged 51 years or older, the overall high-risk HPV prevalence was 12.2% (24 of 179), which was obviously higher than those of other age groups (P Conclusions Our results showed that the HPV prevalence in Guangdong is very similar to the world level. Unlike most previous studies, our findings suggest that HPV prevalence increased with age, and that the predominant genotypes in this area were HPV 52 and 58.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The increase in HPV infection and multiple types with age is explained by cumulative lifetime exposure, relative incompetency in viral clearance, and insufficient adaptive immune responses at menopausal transition, contributing to HPV persistence or reactivation.

    “The frequency of HPV infection and multiple types increases with age explains cumulative lifetime exposure [33], relative incompetency in viral clearance and insufficient adaptive immune responses at this age caused by hormonal changes at menopausal transition, contributing to HPV persistence or reactivation of latent HPV infections [34, 35].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
