Popis: Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing using self-collected vaginal samples and urine samples is convenient and effective for improving the screening rate. But, to serve as an alternative cervical cancer screening technique, such tests must offer sensitivity equivalent to the HPV testing of physician-collected cervical samples. To examine the effectiveness of HPV testing using self-collected samples and urine samples, we compared the results of HPV testing using these samples with those of HPV testing using physician-collected samples and cytological examinations.The study population included 300 women (age: 20-50 years) with abnormal cervical cytology. The results of HPV testing using self-collected samples and urine samples and physician-collected samples and cervical cytology were compared.For all HPV types, the κ-value was 0.773 for physician- and self-collected samples and 0.575 for physician-collected and urine samples. The κ-value for HPV type 16-positive samples was 0.988 for physician- and self-collected samples and 0.896 for physician-collected and urine samples. The κ-value for HPV type 18-positive samples was 0.856 for physician- and self-collected samples and 0.831 for physician-collected and urine samples. For other HPV types, the value was 0.809 for physician- and self-collected samples and 0.617 for physician-collected and urine samples.The obtained results were consistent between physician- and self-collected samples as well as between physician-collected and urine samples. Considering that the agreement rate was particularly high for the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, HPV testing using physician-collected samples, self-collected samples, and urine samples was equally effective for the types with high carcinogenicity.
