The economic burden of human papillomavirus infection-associated diseases in the Republic of Korea, 2002-2015.

CONCLUSION: The healthcare costs associated with HPV-related diseases in Korea are substantial and increased between 2002 and 2015 mainly caused by increased number of patients. Expanding the target age for HPV vaccination of girls and introducing HPV vaccination for boys are possible ways of reducing the economic burden of HPV-associated disease and should be considered.
