Abstract

Purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially high-risk HPV, is a major etiological factor for cervical cancer. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus infection among female outpatients in Northeast China.

Methods: A total of 110,927 women aged between 18 and 80 years from Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, tested with the HPV Geno-Array Test Kit (HybriBio), were enrolled in this study.

Results: The overall prevalence of HPV infection in the study population was 16.95% (18,802/110,927). A total of 21 HPV genotypes were identified and the six most prevalent ones were HPV16 (5.78%), HPV58 (2.62%), HPV52 (1.91%), HPV33 (1.55%), HPV53 (1.45%), and HPV18 (1.16%). The prevalence of single HPV was 83.58% (15,714/18802) and that of multiple HPV was 16.42% (3088/18802). HPV16, HPV58, and HPV52 were the most common types of HR-HPV infections, while CP8304, HPV11, and HPV6 were the most common types of LR-HPV infections. Among the multiple infection groups, HPV16 was the most common type of co-infection. Furthermore, the prevalence of HPV infections varied among different age groups. Age-specific prevalence of HPV exhibited two peaks in the youngest age group and in the group aged 50-60 years.

Conclusion: HPV16, 58, 52, 33, 53, and 18 were the most common types in the general female population. The prevalence of HPV infection varied among different age groups. This study provides guidance for future HPV-based cervical cancer screening tests and prophylactic HPV vaccinations in China.
