Abstract

Graphic abstract

Objective: In this prospective, population-based study, we evaluated the utility of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) genotyping for triaging women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) in the Chinese rural area.

Methods: A total of 40,000 women were recruited from rural areas of Shanxi Province, China, between June 2014 and December 2014. Women with Pap results of ASC-US underwent HPV genotyping, colposcopy and histopathological examination. For those with normal cervixes or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 on the initial evaluation, a 2-year follow-up study was performed.

Results: The reporting rate of ASC-US was 5.76% (2,304/40,000) in the study population. The detection rates of CIN 2 or above (CIN2+) and CIN 3 or above (CIN3+) in women with ASC-US were 7.28% and 1.75%, respectively. HPV 16 (39.53%), HPV 58 (17.83%), and HPV 52 (15.50%) were the three most prevalent HR-HPV genotypes among all women with ASC-US cytology. The five most common HR-HPV genotypes in CIN3+ lesions were HPV16, HPV58, HPV33, HPV31 and HPV18. Compared with the 15 HR-HPV testing, genotyping for a combination of HPV16/18/31/33/58 increased specificity significantly with virtually no loss of sensitivity for detecting CIN2+ and CIN3+ lesions, as well as significantly reduced colposcopy referral rate (23.15% vs 33.70%, p<0.01). In addition, in the 2-year follow-up period, women with infection of HPV16, 18, 31, 33 or 58 genotypes were the most likely population (92%, 23/25) to develop CIN2 lesion.

Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that genotyping for a combination of HPV16/18/31/33/58 provides a more efficient and cost-effective model to risk-stratify women with ASC-US in the Chinese rural population.
