Age-specific predictors of cervical dysplasia recurrence after primary conization: analysis of 3,212 women.

CONCLUSION: HPV persistence is the main factor predicting r-CIN2+. Infection from HPV16/18 has a detrimental effect in young women, thus highlighting the need of implementing vaccination against HPV in this population. Further prospective studies are warranted for tailoring clinical decision-making for post-conization follow-up on the basis of risk factors. PMID: 32808492 [PubMed - in process]
