To compare the clinical performance of human papillomavirus (HPV) mRNA and DNA assays in postmenopausal women.
A total of 5,925 postmenopausal women were tested with cytology and the Luminex HPV DNA assay. High risk-HPV-positive women with benign cytology underwent a complimentary HPV mRNA assay (APTIMA). Both assays and the cytological testing were repeated after 12 months.
A total of 334 women were found to be high-risk HPV-positive; 272 out of these women met the inclusion criteria. At follow-up, 25 (9.2%) out of the 272 included women had cytological abnormalities. HPV mRNA assay at follow-up had a sensitivity of 84% (95% confidence interval=63.9-95.4%) and a specificity of 60.2% (95% confidence interval=53.7-66.3%; p=0.0003) to detect these lesions. Corresponding values for the HPV DNA assay were 88% (95% confidence interval=68.8-97.4%) and 43.5% (95% confidence interval=37.2-49.4%).
The HPV mRNA assay offers a comparable sensitivity but a higher specificity than the HPV DNA assay in detecting precancerous cervical lesions.
比较人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)mRNA检测与DNA检测在绝经后女性中的临床性能。
共有5925名绝经后女性接受了细胞学检查和Luminex HPV DNA检测。细胞学检查为良性的高危HPV阳性女性接受了免费的HPV mRNA检测(APTIMA)。12个月后重复进行这两种检测和细胞学检查。
共发现334名女性高危HPV呈阳性;其中272名女性符合纳入标准。随访时,272名纳入研究的女性中有25名(9.2%)出现细胞学异常。随访时HPV mRNA检测对这些病变的检测灵敏度为84%(95%置信区间=63.9-95.4%),特异度为60.2%(95%置信区间=53.7-66.3%;p=0.0003)。HPV DNA检测的相应值分别为88%(95%置信区间=68.8-97.4%)和43.5%(95%置信区间=37.2-49.4%)。
在检测宫颈癌前病变方面,HPV mRNA检测的灵敏度与HPV DNA检测相当,但特异度更高。
