Comparison of diagnostic accuracy and acceptability of self-sampling devices for human Papillomavirus detection: A systematic review. Prev Med Rep 2024; 38:102590. [PMID: 38283967 PMCID: PMC10821625 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2024.102590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Cervical cancer screening coverage remains low in many countries worldwide. Self-sampling approach for cervical cancer screening has a good potential to improve the screening coverage. This study aims to compare different types of HPV self-sampling devices for cervical cancer screening to identify the most accurate and acceptable device(s). Methods A systematic review was performed on data extracted from all studies specific to HPV self-sampling devices by searching relevant articles in PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and EBSCO published from 2013 to October 2023. The study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022375682). Results Overall, 70 papers met the eligibility criteria for this systematic review and were included in the analysis: 22 studies reported self-sampling devices diagnostic accuracy, 32 studies reported self-sampling devices acceptability and 16 studies reported both (accuracy and acceptability). The most popular self-sampling devices were Evalyn Brush, FLOQ Swab, Cervex-Brush, and Delphi Screener. Out of overall 38 studies analyzing self-sampling devices' diagnostic accuracy, 94.7% of studies reported that self-collected specimens provided sensitivity and specificity comparable with clinician-collected samples; acceptability of Evalyn Brush, FLOQ Swab, Delphi Screener, and Colli-Pee, varied between 84.2% and 100%. Conclusion The self-sampling approach has a good potential to increase cervical cancer screening coverage. Evalyn Brush, Cervex-Brush, FLOQ Swab, and Delphi Screener self-sampling devices for HPV detection were the most commonly utilized and found to be the most accurate, and patient-acceptable. HPV detection accuracy using these self-sampling devices had no significant difference compared to the sampling performed by healthcare providers.

Yuan D, Liu S, Liu Y, Ouyang F, Ai W, Shi L, Liu X, Qiu T, Wang B, Zhou Y. HPV Infection Profiles among People Living with HIV and HPV Vaccine Acceptance among Individuals with Different HIV Infection Statuses in China: A Systematic Meta-Analysis. Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:1614. [PMID: 37897016 PMCID: PMC10610837 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11101614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
To understand the HPV infection profiles among Chinese HIV/AIDS patients and the HPV vaccine acceptance among unvaccinated Chinese people with different HIV infection statuses after the HPV vaccine launch in China, this study searched Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CNKI, WANFANG, SinoMed, and VIP databases up to 23 June 2023, according to the registered protocol (CRD42023449913). A total of 58 studies were included. The results showed that the HPV infection rate among Chinese HIV/AIDS patients was 52.54% (95% CI: 42.11-62.86%) and higher in males than in females (74.55% vs. 41.04%); meanwhile, the rate was higher in the anus than in the cervix (69.22% vs. 41.71%). Although there was no statistical difference, the high-risk HPV infection rate (38.98%) was higher than low-risk HPV (23.86%), and single infections were more common (28.84%) than multiple infections (19.23%). HPV vaccine acceptance among the unvaccinated Chinese population was 59.19% (95% CI: 52.50-65.89%), and was slightly higher among HIV-infected rather than non-HIV-infected individuals (67.72% vs. 59.58%). There was a difference in acceptance among respondents from different regions. Although the difference in acceptance rate between males and females was not statistically significant (61.10% vs. 61.18%), MSM had a higher acceptance rate than non-MSM (84.28% vs. 59.05%). HPV infection is prevalent among HIV patients, demonstrating the need to increase the frequency of HPV screening for PLWH. The HPV vaccine acceptance rate is higher than that of non-HIV-infected individuals. Male acceptance is almost the same as female's, with MSM acceptance higher than non-MSM, suggesting that using MSM, especially MSM in PLWH, as an entry point may be a practical avenue to explore to further expand the scope of HPV vaccination.

Analytical validation of an RI sample cartridge with the RapidHIT® ID system. Int J Legal Med 2021; 135:1257-1265.

Abstract
Evaluating the short tandem repeat (STR) in the field is important for the timely identification of a suspect. Several lines showed that the RapidHIT® ID system is reliable for DNA genotyping with buccal swabs and naked DNA. However, the application of this approach with blood samples has been poorly investigated. Because blood samples are among the most common forensic samples in our laboratory, further studies should be conducted. Here, we assessed the analytical performance of 19 STR loci with a newly developed RapidINTEL (RI) Sample Cartridge Kit by using the blood samples with known genotypes. Several commonly used substrates were included in the sensitivity study, and FTA cards proved to be the most promising sample carrier for blood storage and later identification. There was superior sensitivity and specificity with a 100% concordance rate for 0.5 μL of blood or 7 ng of genomic DNA. The performance for blood samples was comparable with that for the standard protocol. High success rate (90.57%) and high-concordance (100%) genotyping were automatically achieved over a wide range of operating conditions except for TH01. No contamination was observed throughout the study. Hematin, indigo, and humic acid had limited influence on the instrument system, while urea and melanin dramatically affected the genotyping results. Generally, the newly developed RI sample cartridge provided an alternative method for the STR genotyping of single-source blood samples over a wide range of operating conditions.

Abstract
China lacks data demonstrating associations of cervical neoplastic lesions with CD4 T-lymphocyte (CD4 cell) counts and antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV-infected women, suggesting relevant investigations are needed. A total of 545 HIV-infected women were enrolled in Yunnan, China, between 2011 and 2013. CD4 cell counts and ART were measured via medical records and cervical neoplastic lesions were measured by professional pathologists. Multivariable logistic models, which treated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1+ and CIN2+ as outcomes, calculated adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of CD4 cell counts and ART. Subgroup analysis treating CIN1+ as the outcome was conducted by HIV infection duration (<4 vs ≥4 years), ethnicity (Han vs non-Han), and study site (Mangshi vs Kunming). The prevalence of CIN1+ and CIN2+ was 17.4% and 7.3%, respectively. Overall, 243 (44.6%) women had CD4 cell counts ≥500 cell/μL, 187 (34.3%) used ART for less than 2 years, and 236 (43.3%) used ART for at least 2 years. We found inverse associations of CIN1+ with CD4 cell counts (≥500 compared to <500 cells/μL: aOR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.27-0.79) and ART use (<2 years: aOR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.21-0.87; ≥2 years: aOR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.27-1.10). Point estimates did not change substantially for CIN2+ but aORs of ART became nonsignificant. No significant interaction was observed for HIV infection duration. We found significant interaction between CD4 cell counts and ethnicity and study site in relation to CIN1+. Our study suggests potential protective effects of high CD4 cell counts against cervical neoplastic lesions among HIV-infected women, whereas associations of ART are less consistent.

J Virol Methods 2019; 269:77-82. [PMID: 30998958 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2019.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) is well established as the main cause of cervical cancer. Non-invasive self-collected urine and vaginal sampling have the potential advantage of increasing patient compliance with cervical cancer screening. METHODS Self-collected vaginal and urine samples and clinician-collected cervical samples were collected from 101 patients, including 84 patients with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and 17 patients with benign ovarian disease. Each sample was evaluated with RealTime HR-S HPV, Anyplex™ II HPV, and Cobas® HPV assays. The concordance of urine and of self-collected vaginal samples with cervical samples was assessed using the kappa (k) statistic. RESULTS In any high-risk HPV (hrHPV), the concordance of self-collected vaginal and urine samples compared to cervical samples was moderate (k 0.49-0.58) and fair to moderate (k 0.33-0.51), respectively. In HPV 16/18, the concordance of vaginal and urine samples compared to cervical samples was almost perfect (k 0.81-0.86) and moderate to substantial (k 0.59-0.63), respectively. Among the three methods for HPV detection, RealTime HR-S showed the highest concordance with vaginal (k: any hrHPV 0.58, HPV 16/18 0.86) and urine samples (k: any hrHPV 0.51, HPV 16/18 0.63) compared to cervical samples. CONCLUSION HPV tests using self-collected vaginal samples and urine showed substantial and moderate agreement compared with cervical samples, respectively, although HPV tests using these samples were still inferior to clinician-collected cervical samples. Further research is needed on the clinical performance of HPV testing using urine and self-collected vaginal samples as the screening method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) assays on self samples and the efficacy of self sampling strategies to reach underscreened women. DESIGN Updated meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Medline (PubMed), Embase, and CENTRAL from 1 January 2013 to 15 April 2018 (accuracy review), and 1 January 2014 to 15 April 2018 (participation review). REVIEW METHODS Accuracy review: hrHPV assay on a vaginal self sample and a clinician sample; and verification of the presence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) by colposcopy and biopsy in all enrolled women or in women with positive tests. Participation review: study population included women who were irregularly or never screened; women in the self sampling arm (intervention arm) were invited to collect a self sample for hrHPV testing; women in the control arm were invited or reminded to undergo a screening test on a clinician sample; participation in both arms was documented; and a population minimum of 400 women. RESULTS 56 accuracy studies and 25 participation trials were included. hrHPV assays based on polymerase chain reaction were as sensitive on self samples as on clinician samples to detect CIN2+ or CIN3+ (pooled ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.97 to 1.02). However, hrHPV assays based on signal amplification were less sensitive on self samples (pooled ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.80 to 0.89). The specificity to exclude CIN2+ was 2% or 4% lower on self samples than on clinician samples, for hrHPV assays based on polymerase chain reaction or signal amplification, respectively. Mailing self sample kits to the woman's home address generated higher response rates to have a sample taken by a clinician than invitation or reminder letters (pooled relative participation in intention-to-treat-analysis of 2.33, 95% confidence interval 1.86 to 2.91). Opt-in strategies where women had to request a self sampling kit were generally not more effective than invitation letters (relative participation of 1.22, 95% confidence interval 0.93 to 1.61). Direct offer of self sampling devices to women in communities that were underscreened generated high participation rates (>75%). Substantial interstudy heterogeneity was noted (I2>95%). CONCLUSIONS When used with hrHPV assays based on polymerase chain reaction, testing on self samples was similarly accurate as on clinician samples. Offering self sampling kits generally is more effective in reaching underscreened women than sending invitations. However, since response rates are highly variable among settings, pilots should be set up before regional or national roll out of self sampling strategies.

Abstract
Purpose Despite improvement in vaccines against human papilloma virus (HPV), the causative agent of cervical cancer, screening women for cervical precancer will remain indispensable in the coming 30–40 years. A simple test that could be performed at home or at a doctor’s practice and that informs the woman whether she is at risk would significantly help make a broader group of patients who aware that they need medical treatment. Cervical vaginal fluid (CVF) is a body fluid that is very well suited for such a test. Methods Narrative review of cervical (pre)cancer candidate biomarkers from cervicovaginal fluid, is based on a detailed review of the literature. We will also discuss the possibilities that these biomarkers create for the development of a self-test or point-of-care test for cervical (pre)cancer. Results Several DNA, DNA methylation, miRNA, and protein biomarkers were identified in the cervical vaginal fluid; however, not all of these biomarkers are suited for development of a simple diagnostic assay. Conclusions Proteins, especially alpha-actinin-4, are most suited for development of a simple assay for cervical (pre)cancer. Accuracy of the test could further be improved by combination of several proteins or by combination with a new type of biomarker, e.g., originating from the cervicovaginal microbiome or metabolome.
