Accuracy of human papillomavirus tests on self-collected urine versus clinician-collected samples for the detection of cervical precancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that HPV test with some PCR-based assay on urine versus clinician-collected samples demonstrate similar clinical accuracy to detect CIN2 or worse. It suggests that urinary HPV test may present itself as a decent alternative screening tool for the detection of cervical pre-cancer.TRIAL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO identifier: CRD42021227901.PMID:34783207 | DOI:10.3802/jgo.2022.33.e4
