Abstract
MAYORGA-BAUTISTA, Citlally Dolores et al. Prevalence of high-grade intraepithelial lesions in women aged 15-25 years with cytology report of human papillomavirus infection. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.12, pp.949-955. Epub May 23, 2022. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v89i12.6866.
OBJECTIVE:
To know the prevalence of high-grade intraepithelial lesions in women aged 15 to 25 years, with a cytology report of changes in the epithelium attributable to human papillomavirus infection.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Retrospective, tranversal and descriptive study performed at the Dysplasia Clinic of the Regional General Hospital 1 of Querétaro, Mexico, from January 2015 to December 2020. Inclusion criteria: files of women aged 15 to 25 years with report of changes in the epithelium attributable to HPV infection reported on cytology. Exclusion criteria: incomplete records. The statistical analysis plan included: averages, confidence intervals for averages, percentages, and confidence interval for percentages.
RESULTS:
We reviewed 823 files with cytology reports of epithelial changes attributable to HPV infection. The mean age of the women was 23.28 years (95%CI: 23.24-23.52), the mean age at sexual debut was 16.01 years (95%CI: 15.92-16.10). 7.0% (95%CI: 5.3-8.7) had high-grade intraepithelial lesions on cytology and colposcopy.
CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of high-grade intraepithelial lesions in women aged 15-25 years with reported epithelial changes attributable to HPV infection is 7.0% for cytology and for colposcopy.
