The Amplicor HPV test and the Linear Array (LA) HPV Genotyping test were used for the detection of HPV DNA in 320 women. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify independent prognostic factors of HPV positivity. The agreement between the two methods in terms of their qualitative results was 89.3% (kappa: 0.63). Based on the LA results, the overall prevalence of HPV DNA was 49.1%, 95% confidence interval (95% CI: 43.5%, 54.7%). The prevalence of high-risk HPV types was 30.3%. The predominant types were HPV-6 (24.8%) and HPV-16 (20.4%). Among women with normal cytology, the prevalence of HPV was much higher in those presenting other findings, such as inflammation, than those without other abnormal findings (49.5% vs. 31.5%). On the basis of multivariate analysis, the risk of HPV infection was higher among women with multiple sexual partners [&gt;3 vs. 1: OR = 3.1, 95% CI: (1.5, 7.2)], Pap smear findings [low/high-grade lesions vs. negative: OR = 2.8, 95% CI: (1.2, 6.5)], the presence of warts [yes vs. no: OR = 3.0, 95% CI: (1.5, 6.3)] and no history of child birth [no vs. yes: OR = 2.6, 95% CI: (1.0, 6.7)]. Younger age was an additional risk factor for HPV infection with carcinogenic genotypes [OR for 1 year increase = 0.93, 95% CI: (0.89, 0.98)].</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19856480</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papachristou, EleniSypsa, VanaParaskevis, DimitriosGkekas, AthanasiosPoliti, EkateriniNicolaidou, ElectraAnifantis, IoannisPsichogiou, MinaTsitsika, ArtemisHadjivassiliou, MariaPetrikkos, GeorgiosKatsambas, AndreasCreatsas, GeorgiosHatzakis, AngelosengResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov't2009/10/27 06:00J Med Virol. 2009 Dec;81(12):2059-65. doi: 10.1002/jmv.21639.</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Hygiene Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, School of Medicine, University of Athens, Athens, Greece.</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
