Background: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) represents the most prevalent genital infection in young women of reproductive age.
Objective: This systematic review aims to estimate the effect of HPV infection during pregnancy and assess the correlation between HPV and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Materials And Methods: The search strategy has been developed based on the PICOS framework: Population (pregnant women infected with HPV), Intervention (HPV infection confirmed by molecular tests), Comparator (pregnant women without HPV infection), Outcomes (adverse pregnancy outcomes) and Study design (observational studies).
Hydatidiform mole represents an abnormal form of conception that occurs in about one in 500-1000 pregnancies. It is a subtype of gestational trophoblastic disease.
