BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested a protective effect of male circumcision on human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in males, and that this protection may be conferred to their female sexual partners. OBJECTIVES: To synthesize the available evidence on the association between male circumcision and HPV infections in males and females. DATA SOURCES: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, LILACS, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global for records published up to 22 June 2022. STUDY ELIGIBILITY: We considered observational and experimental studies that assessed male circumcision status and HPV prevalence, incidence, or clearance in males or females for inclusion. PARTICIPANTS: Males and their female sexual partners who were tested for genital HPV infection. INTERVENTIONS: Male circumcision compared with no circumcision. THE RISK-OF-BIAS ASSESSMENT: The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for observational studies, and the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used for randomized trials. DATA SYNTHESIS: We estimated summary measures of effect and 95% CIs for the prevalence, incidence, and clearance of HPV infections in males and females using random-effects meta-analysis. We assessed the effect modification of circumcision on HPV prevalence by the penile site in males using random-effects meta-regression. RESULTS: Across 32 studies, male circumcision was associated with decreased odds of prevalent HPV infections (odds ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.34-0.61), a reduced incidence rate of HPV infections (incidence rate ratio, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.57-0.83), and an increased risk of clearing HPV infections (risk ratio, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.28-1.61) at the glans penis among male subjects. Circumcision conferred greater protection against infection at the glans than the shaft (odds ratio, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48-0.98). Females with circumcised partners were protected from all outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Male circumcision may protect against various HPV infection outcomes, suggesting its prophylactic potential. Understanding the site-specific effects of circumcision on HPV infection prevalence has important implications for studies of HPV transmission.
背景:先前的研究表明,男性包皮环切术对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染具有保护作用,这种保护作用可能会传递给他们的女性性伴侣。
目的:综合现有证据,评估男性包皮环切术与男性和女性 HPV 感染之间的关联。
数据来源:我们检索了 MEDLINE、Embase、Scopus、Cochrane、LILACS 和 ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global,检索截至 2022 年 6 月 22 日。
研究入选标准:我们纳入了评估男性包皮环切术状况以及男性和女性 HPV 流行率、发病率或清除率的观察性和实验性研究。
研究对象:接受生殖器 HPV 感染检测的男性及其女性性伴侣。
干预措施:包皮环切术与未行包皮环切术。
偏倚风险评估:使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估观察性研究,使用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估随机试验。
数据综合:我们使用随机效应荟萃分析,估计了男性和女性 HPV 感染流行率、发病率和清除率的综合效应指标及其 95%置信区间。我们使用随机效应荟萃回归,评估了包皮环切术对男性阴茎部位 HPV 流行率的影响修饰作用。
结果:在 32 项研究中,男性包皮环切术与降低现患 HPV 感染的几率相关(比值比,0.45;95%置信区间,0.34-0.61),降低 HPV 感染的发病率(发病率比,0.69;95%置信区间,0.57-0.83),并增加男性阴茎龟头的 HPV 清除率(风险比,1.44;95%置信区间,1.28-1.61)。与阴茎体相比,包皮环切术对龟头的保护作用更强(比值比,0.68;95%置信区间,0.48-0.98)。有环切术伴侣的女性在所有结局中都受到保护。
结论:男性包皮环切术可能对各种 HPV 感染结局具有保护作用,提示其具有预防作用。了解包皮环切术对 HPV 感染流行率的特定部位影响,对 HPV 传播研究具有重要意义。
