Cross-Sectional Study on the Correlation Between Vaginal Microecology and High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection: Establishment of a Clinical Prediction Model.

Purpose: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a significant risk factor for cervical precancerous lesions and cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vaginal microecology and HR-HPV infection and to evaluate the clinical applicability of vaginal microecology in predicting HR-HPV infection.

Patients And Methods: Overall, 2000 women with simultaneously detected vaginal discharge and cervical HPV were selected between March 2022 and March 2023, including 241 and 1759 cases in the HR-HPV positive and HPV negative groups, respectively.
