Investigating the impact of persistent HPV infection on recurrence of lesions post-surgery for early-stage cervical cancer and related influencing factors by Jing Na, Ya Li, Qiao Lu, Yang Wang, Shichao Han, Jun Wang

“…Multivariate analysis identified persistent postoperative HPV infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.14 to 5, p=0.001*) as an independent risk factor for recurrence. Additionally, smoking (OR 7.49, 95% CI 1.19 to 47.13, p=0.032), abnormal vaginal microbiota (OR 0.663, 95% CI 0.403 to 1.088, p=0.001*), and the type of surgical procedure (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.91, p=0.033) were significantly associated with a higher rate of persistent HPV infection.ConclusionPersistent HPV infection after surgery is an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence in early-stage cervical cancer. …”
