Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim is to evaluate the prevention and development of cervical cancer in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in Japan and its background based on a questionnaire survey. METHODS The questionnaire was handed to 460 adult female SLE patients at 12 medical institutions. The participants were grouped by age, and data related to their human papillomavirus vaccination status, age at first coitus, cervical cancer screening, and diagnosis of cervical cancer were analysed. RESULTS A total of 320 responses were received. Patients aged 35-54 years included a higher proportion of patients whose age at first coitus was <20 years. This group also showed a higher rate of cervical cancer/dysplasia. Only nine patients had a human papillomavirus vaccination history. Adequate frequency of cervical cancer screening was slightly higher (52.1%) among SLE patients than in the Japanese general population. However, 23% of the patients had never undergone examination, primarily because of a feeling of troublesome. The incidence of cervical cancer was significantly higher among SLE patients. One reason for this may be associated with the use of immunosuppressants, although the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS SLE patients are at a higher risk of cervical cancer and dysplasia. Rheumatologists should proactively recommend vaccination and screening examinations for SLE female patients.

Canadian Guideline on the Management of a Positive Human Papillomavirus Test and Guidance for Specific Populations. Curr Oncol 2023; 30:5652-5679. [PMID: 37366908 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30060425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence-based guidance on the management of a positive human papilloma virus (HPV) test and to provide guidance around screening and HPV testing for specific patient populations. The guideline was developed by a working group in collaboration with the Gynecologic Oncology Society of Canada (GOC), Society of Colposcopists of Canada (SCC), and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. The literature informing these guidelines was obtained through a systematic review of relevant literature by a multi-step search process led by an information specialist. The literature was reviewed up to July 2021 with manual searches of relevant national guidelines and more recent publications. The quality of the evidence and strength of recommendations were developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. The intended users of this guideline include primary care providers, gynecologists, colposcopists, screening programs, and healthcare facilities. The implementation of the recommendations will ensure an optimum implementation of HPV testing with a focus on the management of positive results. Recommendations for appropriate care for underserved and marginalized groups are made.

Abstract
IntroductionViral infection is an exogeneous factor for primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS). This study investigated the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and pSS through a nationwide population based cohort study.MethodsPatients with HPV infections between January, 1999 and December, 2013 were included. The incidence of new-onset pSS in patients with HPV infections and non-HPV controls were derived. The multiple Cox regression model derived the risk of pSS in patients with HPV infections. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to validate the association.ResultsDuring a follow-up period of 12 years, the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of pSS in patients with HPV infections was significantly higher than that in non-HPV controls (aHR=1.64, 95% CI=1.47-1.83, P<0.001). The risk of pSS increased with age and the risk increased by 2.64-fold (95% CI= 2.37-2.93) for those older than 45 years. The significant association between HPV infections and the risk of pSS persisted in the sensitivity analysis restricted in HPV infections that lasted over 12 months (aHR=1.63, 95%CI=1.45-1.83, P<0.0001). Subgroup analyses revealed that both male (aHR=1.83, 95%CI=1.47-2.28, P<0.0001) and female (aHR=1.58, 95%CI=1.40-1.79, P<0.0001) patients with HPV infections and HPV-infected patients aged between 16 and 45 years (aHR=1.60, 95%CI=1.34-1.91, P<0.0001) and over 45 years (aHR=1.67, 95%CI=1.46-1.91, P<0.0001) were associated with a significantly greater risk of pSS.ConclusionPatients with HPV infections presented with a significantly higher risk of pSS, regardless of age and sex.

Abstract
Objectives: To describe human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination practices in adolescent girls with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and to identify barriers to and motivators for vaccination. Methods: Cross-sectional, multicenter study on girls aged 9 to 19 years and their accompanying adults. The measurement criteria were the proportion of girls who were vaccinated against HPV, compliance with the vaccination schedule, factors associated with vaccination, and reasons for vaccination and non-vaccination through a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Seventy-one patients (16 with SLE and 55 with JIA) were included with a mean age of 13 years old (rank 11−18). According to parental questioning, 39% of patients were vaccinated against HPV or in progress (44% and 38% of SLE and JIA, respectively). This rate was 82% for the 22 patients ≥ 15 years of age. The vaccine was administered as often by a general practitioner (39%) as by a hospital pediatrician (also 39%). Two factors were significantly associated with vaccination: Older age (OR 53.68, 95% CI 5.85−429.29, p < 0.001) and previous hepatitis B vaccination (OR 4.97, 95% CI 1.03−24.01, p = 0.040). Recommendation of the vaccine by a health professional and fear of HPV-related diseases were the main facilitators. Lack of knowledge about the vaccine, lack of recommendation by a health professional, and fear of vaccine side effects were the main barriers. Conclusions: HPV vaccination coverage remains insufficient among patients with autoimmune disease. Education and awareness of health professionals about HPV infections are crucial elements in vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of gynecological malignancies worldwide. This study aims to develop an immune signature to predict survival in cervical cancer. METHOD The gene expression data of 296 patients with cervical cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) and immune-related genes from the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) database were included in this study. The immune signature was developed based on prognostic genes. The validation dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. RESULT The immune signature namely immune-based prognostic score (IPRS) was developed with 229 genes. Multivariate analysis revealed that the IPRS was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with cervical cancer. Patients were stratified into high IPRS and low IPRS groups, and those in the high IPRS group were associated with better survival, which was validated in the validation set. A nomogram with IPRS and stage was constructed to predict mortality in cervical cancer. CONCLUSIONS We developed a robust prognostic signature IPRS that could be used to predict patients' survival outcome.

Abstract
Hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) is being scrutinized for repositioning in the treatment and prevention of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This antimalarial drug is also chronically used to treat patients with autoimmune diseases. By analyzing the Portuguese anonymized data on private and public based medical prescriptions we have identified all cases chronically receiving HCQ for the management of diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases. Additionally, we have detected all laboratory confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and all laboratory confirmed negative cases in the Portuguese population (mandatorily registered in a centrally managed database). Cross linking the two sets of data has allowed us to compare the proportion of HCQ chronic treatment (at least 2 grams per month) in laboratory confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection with laboratory confirmed negative cases. Out of 26 815 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, 77 (0.29%) were chronically treated with HCQ, while 1215 (0.36%) out of 333 489 negative patients were receiving it chronically (P = .04). After adjustment for age, sex, and chronic treatment with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants, the odds ratio of SARS-CoV-2 infection for chronic treatment with HCQ has been 0.51 (0.37-0.70). Our data suggest that chronic treatment with HCQ confer protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most widespread sexually transmitted diseases and the main risk factor for cervical cancer. Underlying conditions, like immunosuppression, favour the persistence and the progression of cervical lesions to an aggressive form. Patients with autoimmune diseases, and particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), may be prone to HPV infection and cervical dysplasia. However, the risk factors for developing persistent HPV-related infection, dysplasia and cancer are not identified for patients with SLE. The existence of an increased risk of cervical cancer compared to the general population remains debated. Thus, HPV vaccine is recommended for SLE patients as well as for the general population. Vaccine coverage of SLE patients is not known in France. Adolescents with chronic health condition seem to be insufficiently vaccinated regarding their vulnerability to infectious diseases. Strategies are required to decrease HPV vaccination barriers.
