Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to assess the prevalence of high-risk Human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection and the association of HPV 16 and 18 with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). Methods: The cross-sectional study included 106 patients who visited Hanoi Medical University Hospital from April 2022 to August 2023. All patients underwent hrHPV testing and cervical biopsies. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0 for Windows. Results: The prevalence of hrHPV infection among women with HSILs was 93.4%. Among these cases, 56.6% were infected with either HPV 16 or 18, with HPV 16 being the most prevalent at 47.2%. Age and hrHPV infection showed significant association with the severity of squamous epithelial damage (CIN 2, CIN 3). Conclusion: hrHPV infection was highly prevalent among women with HSILs at 93.4%. Age and infection with HPV 16 or 18 were associated with the severity of squamous epithelial damage (CIN 2, CIN 3).
