The Adjuvant Effect of HPV Vaccination on Recurrence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 2 or Worse in Women Undergoing Conization: Retrospective Cohort Study

Assessment of the association between human papillomavirus vaccination (HPV) and recurrences of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) in women undergoing conization.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The implementation of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) in the national immunization program for the young age cohort was subsequently extended to previously unvaccinated adult women who underwent conization due to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+).

These women are offered HPV vaccination, often completed post-excision. Observational and clinical studies conducted between 2010 and 2023 have demonstrated that HPV vaccination contributes to a >70% reduction in CIN2+ recurrence in women after conization. However, the outcomes of these studies have not conclusively shown whether the adjuvant effect of HPV vaccination depends on the vaccine type (bi-, quadri-, or nona-valent), the timing and completeness of vaccination, and other factors.

This study aims to assess the mentioned factors and potentially reveal new ones, such as age, health status, etc. It is planned to be conducted using the laboratory records of women who underwent conization between 2010 and 2024, with their cervical screening examinations performed at the central laboratory UNILABS in Prague

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The population consists of women who underwent conization for CIN2+, and the laboratory examination of conization and other samples was conducted at the central laboratory of UNILABS. The follow-up period for the population must be at least 6 months, with at least one negative finding before a recurrence of CIN2+ is identified.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women >18 years, with conization for CIN2+ (HSIL)
  • Women who had more than one examination during a follow-up period of >6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women who underwent hysterectomy after conization.

  • Women who had excision procedures other than cervical excision.
  • Women who did not undergo any other cytological/histological examinations.
  • Women with more than one conization before CIN2+ recurrence

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

single cohort of women with cervical excision for CIN2+
single cohort of women with cervical excision for CIN2+; those with HPV vaccination and those without HPV vaccination
Women with or without HPV vaccination before or after excision

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CIN2+ recurrence rate
Time Frame: 2010-2024
CIN2+ recurrence rate - obtained from the number of women with this find-ing related the number of women with no finding within the time period since the conization; The recurrence rate of CIN2+ will be assessed in relation to vaccination, vaccine type, vaccination completeness, etc., using specific uni-variate analysis (incidence rate ratio) and multivariate analysis (incidence rate ratio or hazard ratio, as appropriate)
2010-2024

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CIN2+ recurrence frequency
Time Frame: 2010-2024
CIN2+ recurrence frequency - percentage proportion of women with this finding related to all women in follow-up; The recurrence frequency of CIN2+ will be assessed in relation to vaccination, vaccine type, vaccination completeness, etc., using specific univariate analysis (odds ratio, relative risk) and multivariate analysis (odds ratio, relative risk, as appropriate)
2010-2024
