Abstract
Introduction Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common cancer in women in Sub-Saharan Africa. (1) Its prevalence can be efficiently reduced by preventive HPV vaccination for certain hr-HPV genotypes and [...]
Purpose: High-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important cause of cervical cancer. The highest burden of disease is seen in Low- and Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). Several new HPV screening assays have been developed for high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) testing. We compared the performance and adequacy of three HPV genotyping assays on samples from a population of rural women in south-central Ethiopia. Patients and Methods: One hundred and ten cervical swabs from rural women screened for HPV were assayed. HPV DNA was tested using MPG-Luminex Assay, Anyplex II HPV HR Detection, and EUROArray HPV. MPG-Luminex Assay was used as a reference method to compute the sensitivity and specificity of the two commercial assays in detecting hr-HPV infections. Results: Of the 110 samples, MPG-Luminex Assay found 18.2% positive for the 14 hr-HPV and 7.3% for the probable hr-HPV genotypes. Anyplex[TM] II HPV HR Detection assay and EUROArray HPV Assay identified 21.82% and 12.7% samples, respectively, for the 14 hr-HPVs and both 7.3% for the probable hr-HPV genotypes (K=0.734). Among the 14 hr-HPV genotypes, the genotypespecific agreement of the three HPV genotyping assays was moderate or better for HPV16, 31, 35, 39, 52, 56, 66 and 68. The aggregated sensitivity in detecting the 14 hr-HPV infections of Anyplex[TM] II HPV HR Detection and EUROArray HPV assays was high, 100% and 70%, respectively. The specificities of Anyplex[TM] II HPV HR Detection and EUROArray HPV were 95.6% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: The three evaluated assays showed similar analytical performance in the detection of hr-HPV infections and moderate or better concordance in HPV genotyping. This study is part of the ongoing cluster-randomized trial that has been registered in clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03281135) on September 13, 2017. Keywords: analytical performance, HPV PCR test accuracy, HPV test complexity, HPV testing, LMIC
