[Evaluation the triage performance of p16/Ki-67 dual staining for HR-HPV positive women].

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of p16/Ki-67 dual staining for triage high risk HPV (HR-HPV) infected women. Method: Target objects were women who infected HR-HPV and received colposcopy examination between April and December of 2016 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Gynecologists collected the cervical exfoliated cells from eligible women for p16/Ki-67 dual staining, LBC testing and HPV DNA testing. Histology diagnosis were used as gold standard. Sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values (PPVs), negative predictive values (NPVs) of p16/Ki-67 dual staining, LBC testing and HPV16/18 testing for triage of HR-HPV positive population were calculated and compared. Results: A total of 295 HR-HPV infected women were selected, and the mean age was (44.29±11.48) years old. Positive rates of p16/Ki-67 dual staining, HPV16/18 testing and LBC testing were 70.17% (207), 56.95% (168) and 85.76% (253), respectively. When CIN2+as the endpoint, among the three triage methods, sensitivity of p16/Ki-67 dual staining was 90.00% (95%CI 85.06%-93.43%), higher than the value of HPV 16/18 testing, but lower than the value of LBC testing. Specificity, PPV and NPV of p16/Ki-67 dual staining were the highest [71.58% (95%CI 61.81%-79.67%), 86.96% (95%CI81.69%-90.88%) and 77.27% (95%CI 67.49%-84.78%)]. When detection for CIN3+, sensitivity of p16/Ki-67 dual staining was 92.90% (95%CI 87.74%-95.99%), lower than the value of LBC testing, but higher than the value of HPV16/18 testing. Specificity of p16/Ki-67 dual staining was 55.00% (95%CI 46.74%-63.00%), lower than the value of HPV16/18 testing, but higher than the value of LBC testing. PPV of p16/Ki-67 dual staining was 69.57% (95%CI 62.99%-75.43%), lower than the value of HPV 16/18 testing, but higher than the value of LBC testing. NPV of p16/Ki-67 dual staining was 87.50% (95%CI 78.99%-92.87%), higher than value of HPV 16/18 testing, but lower than the value of LBC testing. Conclusion: p16/Ki-67 dual staining has better clinical effects than HPV 16/18 testing and LBC testing for triage women with HR-HPV infection.
