Effect of high risk human papillomavirus test in screening of the patients with ASCUS

Objective To explore the clinical value of high risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV) test in shunting monitoring of atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and to seek the best treatment for patients with ASCUS.Methods 470 patients with ASCUS tested by TCT were given HR-HPV testing and biopsy under colposcopy.The clinical characteristics were analyzed.Results 470 cases of ASCUS contained a variety of cervical lesions:inflammation/acuminate accounted for 69.15％ (325/470),cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)accounted for 29.57％ (139/470),and invasive carcinoma accounted for 1.28％ (6/470).The positive rate of cervical pathological examination was 30.85％ (≥ CIN Ⅰ,145/470).The positive rate of HR-HPV was 50.43％(237/470).The detection rate of ≥CIN Ⅰ in HR-HPV positive group and negative group was 55.27％ (131/237)and 6.01％ (14/233),while the detection rate of ≥ CIN Ⅱ in HR-HPV positive group and negative group was 36.71％ (87/237) and 1.29％ (3/233).The differences were statistically significant(P ＜ 0.01).Incidence of ≥ CIN Ⅰ and invasive carcinoma in HR-HPV positive group was about 19.332 fold of that in HR-HPV negative group(95％ CI =10.632 ～ 35.152),while the incidence of ≥CIN Ⅱ and invasive carcinoma was about 44.467 fold of HR-HPV negative group (95％ CI =13.812 ～ 143.152).The detection sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value(NPV) of HR-HPV in the≥ CIN Ⅰ patients were 90.34％,67.38％,61.60％,93.99％.Those of ≥ CIN Ⅱ patients were 96.67％,60.53％,36.71％,98.71％.Conclusion ASCUS included partial CIN of high grades and cervical cancer,and the proportion of HPV infection is large,detection of high risk HPV-DNA is an effective shunting management method of ASCUS.
