RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In Denmark, a girls-only human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program was initiated in 2008-2009. The study aim was to assess the HPV prevalence and type distribution in younger men prior to HPV vaccination in men. METHODS: The study population was younger men who attended information days regarding military service. At random days (2019-2020), 280 men were included. We collected questionnaire data regarding risk factors for HPV infection and a penile swab for HPV testing. We compared results in this study with those from a previous study of young men (2006-2007). RESULTS: The majority of participants (94%) were 18-20 years old. The median number of lifetime sexual partners was 4. Altogether, 130 men (46.4%) were HPV positive. No infections with HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 45 were detected. The most frequent type was HPV-51 (detected in 11.1%). Comparison showed that the odds of high-risk HPV type infection were higher in 2019-2020 (prevalence odds ratio [POR], 1.7 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.1-2.7]) compared with 2006-2007. In contrast, the odds were lower (POR, 0.3 [95% CI, .1-.6]) for HPV types targeted by the 9-valent HPV vaccine. CONCLUSIONS: The multicohort girls-only vaccination program has to a large degree protected young men against the HPV types included in the licensed vaccines. This does not speak against gender-neutral vaccination as the HPV prevalence is still high, although consisting largely of less carcinogenic HPV types.
RESUMO
In this register-based cohort study, we estimated the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related anogenital precancer and cancer in women with diabetes compared with women without diabetes. We followed all women living in Denmark born 1916 to 2001 (n = 2 508 321) for individual-level information on diabetes (Type 1 or 2 [T1D or T2D]), diagnoses of cervical, vaginal, vulvar and anal intraepithelial neoplasia Grade 2 or 3 (IN2/3) and cancer and other covariates from nationwide registries. We used Poisson regression to model the incidence rates of anogenital IN2/3 and cancer as a function of diabetes status, age, HPV vaccination, education, calendar year, and cervical cancer screening status. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated for diabetes overall, and separately for T1D and T2D, compared with women without diabetes. Women with diabetes had higher rates of vulvar IN2/3 (IRR = 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41-1.88), vulvar cancer (IRR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.36-1.91) and vaginal cancer (IRR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.27-1.91) than women without diabetes. Similar patterns were observed for anal IN2/3, anal cancer and cervical cancer, although not statistically significant. In contrast, women with diabetes had lower rates of cervical IN2/3 (IRR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.69-0.79) than women without diabetes. Patterns were generally similar in women with T1D and T2D, although cancer rates were higher in women with T2D. In conclusion, the incidence of most anogenital precancers and cancers were increased in women with diabetes. However, women with diabetes had lower incidence of cervical precancer. Our findings could be explained by biological mechanisms and/or behavioral factors, such as smoking and less frequent cervical screening participation.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes may increase risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related precancer and cancer. We estimated incidence of penile and anal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (hgPeIN, hgAIN) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in men with diabetes compared with the entire Danish male population without diabetes. METHODS: In this registry-based cohort study, we included all men born 1916-2001 and residing in Denmark (n = 2,528,756). From nationwide registries, we retrieved individual-level information on diabetes, educational level, and diagnoses of hgPeIN, hgAIN, penile SCC, and anal SCC. We used Poisson regression models to estimate incidence of hgPeIN, hgAIN, penile SCC, and anal SCC as a function of diabetes status, attained age, calendar period, and education. We estimated incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of each outcome in men with diabetes compared with nondiabetic men, both for diabetes overall and separately for type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESULTS: Men with diabetes had increased incidence rate of penile SCC compared with nondiabetic men (IRR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.2, 1.9). We saw similar trends for anal SCC, hgPeIN, and hgAIN. The combined incidence rate of penile and anal SCC was increased in men with T2D (IRR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.3, 1.8), but not with T1D (IRR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.20, 1.4) compared with men without diabetes. CONCLUSION: The incidence of penile and anal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and SCC in men with diabetes was increased compared with men without diabetes. For penile and anal SCCs, this was primarily due to an increased risk in men with T2D.

In this registry-based cohort study, we estimated the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related anogenital premalignancies and cancer in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) compared to a nontransplanted comparison cohort. We identified all first-time RTRs in Denmark during 1990-2015 in a nationwide nephrology register. For each RTR, we randomly selected 50 age- and sex-matched non-RTRs from the background population. The study population was followed for diagnoses of cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2-3 (IN2/3) and cancer for up to 27 years. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) of anogenital IN2/3 and cancer in RTRs vs. non-RTRs by Cox regression separately for men and women using age as underlying timescale, adjusting for income, education, HPV vaccination and immunocompromising conditions. We included 4,261 RTRs and 213,673 non-RTRs. RTRs had increased hazard of cervical (HR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.7-2.8), vaginal (HR = 35.0, 95% CI: 13.9-87.7), vulvar (HR = 16.4, 95% CI: 10.4-25.8), penile (HR = 21.9, 95% CI: 11.1-43.5) and anal (women: HR = 51.1, 95% CI: 28.0-93.1; men: HR = 39.0, 95% CI: 16.7-91.1) IN2/3. The HRs of anogenital cancers were also increased at most sites. The HR of anogenital IN2/3 in female RTRs tended to be higher during graft function than during dialysis. In female RTRs aged <40 years at transplantation, 10-15% had cervical IN2/3 and 5-12% had vaginal/vulvar/anal IN2/3 within 20 years after transplantation, compared to 4-8 and 0.2-0.4%, respectively, of female non-RTRs. In conclusion, RTRs had substantially higher risk of HPV-related anogenital premalignancies and cancer than non-RTRs.

INTRODUCTION: The optimal clinical management of women diagnosed with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) during cervical cancer screening remains unclear. In this prospective cohort study, we compared the clinical performance of two human papillomavirus (HPV) mRNA tests for triage of women with LSIL in Denmark. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a nationwide pathology register, we identified women aged 23-65 years with LSIL during 2008-2012. We included women tested for HPV mRNA with the PreTect HPV Proofer test for five high-risk HPV types (n = 2176) or the Aptima assay for 14 high-risk HPV types (n = 426). Subsequent histological diagnoses of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2, 3 or cancer (CIN2+) were identified in the register. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity for CIN2+ at 18 and 36 months of follow up, and the cumulative incidence of CIN2+ among women testing positive and negative, overall and by age (23-29, 30-39, 40-65 years). RESULTS: The proportion of women with a positive mRNA test at baseline was higher in women tested with Aptima (66.7%) than in women tested with Proofer (42.8%). After 18 months, Aptima had higher sensitivity for CIN2+ than Proofer (98% [95% CI 94% to 100%] vs 85% [95% CI 82% to 88%]), whereas Proofer showed higher specificity than Aptima (67% [95% CI 64% to 70%]) vs (40% [95% CI 33% to 46%]). Aptima had particularly low specificity in women aged <40 years (23-29: 19% [95% CI 5% to 36%]; 30-39: 10% [95% CI 0% to 33%]). The 36-month cumulative incidence of CIN2+ was higher in Proofer positive (54.3% [95% CI 50.9% to 57.8%]) than in Aptima positive women (37.6% [95% CI 31.2% to 44.8%]). In women with a negative mRNA test, the 36-month cumulative incidences of CIN2+ were 13.1% (95% CI 10.8% to 15.8%) and 5.9% (95% CI 1.7% to 19.0%) for Proofer and Aptima, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In women with LSIL, Aptima had high sensitivity for CIN2+, but low specificity, especially in women aged <40 years. The Proofer test may be useful to limit immediate colposcopy referrals in younger women with LSIL, but given its low sensitivity and negative predictive value, Proofer negative women must be followed with repeat cytology.

PURPOSE: To assess the association between benign ovarian tumors and subsequent risk of breast cancer, and to examine this association according to type of benign ovarian tumors. METHODS: This nationwide cohort study comprised all Danish women diagnosed with a benign ovarian tumor during 1978-2016 (n = 158,221) identified through the Danish National Patient Register. The cohort was linked to the Danish Cancer Registry to identify all cases of breast cancer, and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULTS: Overall, women with a benign ovarian tumor were at significantly increased risk of breast cancer. The risk was confined to women with a solid ovarian tumor (SIR 1.09; 95% CI 1.05-1.13), particularly in women ≥ 50 years at benign tumor diagnosis (SIR 1.19; 95% CI 1.12-1.26). The risk remained increased up to 20 years or more after the diagnosis of a solid ovarian tumor (SIR 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.18), and women with a solid tumor were at increased risk of ductal, lobular, and other types of breast cancer, although most consistent for the lobular subtype. For cystic tumors, this association was confined to ductal breast cancer in women with the tumor diagnosed at age ≥ 50 years. CONCLUSIONS: Women with a benign ovarian tumor were at increased risk of breast cancer. This association was largely confined to women with a solid ovarian tumor, and the excess risk was present 20 years or more after the ovarian tumor diagnosis. The underlying mechanism is unknown and should be investigated further.

OBJECTIVE: Use of antibiotics in critically ill patients may increase the risk of invasive Candida infection. The objective of this study was to determine whether increased exposure to antibiotics is associated with increased prevalence of invasive Candida infection. DESIGN: Substudy using data from a randomized controlled trial, the Procalcitonin And Survival Study 2006-2010. SETTING: Nine multidisciplinary ICUs across Denmark. PATIENTS: A total of 1,200 critically ill patients. INTERVENTION: Patients were randomly allocated to either a "high exposure" antibiotic therapy (intervention arm, n = 604) or a "standard exposure" guided by current guidelines (n = 596). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Seventy-four patients met the endpoint, "invasive Candida infection," 40 in the high exposure arm and 34 in standard exposure arm (relative risk = 1.2; 95% CI, 0.7-1.8; p = 0.52). Among medical patients in the high exposure arm, the use of ciprofloxacin and piperacillin/tazobactam was 51% and 75% higher than in the standard exposure arm; no difference in antibiotic exposure was observed between the randomized arms in surgical patients. Among medical intensive care patients, invasive Candida infection was more frequent in the high exposure arm (6.2%; 27/437) than in standard exposure arm (3.3%; 14/424) (hazard ratio = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.0-3.6; p = 0.05). Ciprofloxacin used at study entry independently predicted invasive Candida infection (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.1 [1.1-4.1]); the risk gradually increased with duration of ciprofloxacin therapy: six of 384 in patients not exposed (1.6%), eight of 212 (3.8%) when used for 1-2 days (hazard ratio = 2.5; 95% CI, 0.9-7.3), and 31 of 493 (6.3%) when used for 3 days (hazard ratio = 3.8; 95% CI, 1.6-9.3; p = 0.002). Patients with any ciprofloxacin-containing antibiotic regimen the first 3 days in the trial had a higher risk of invasive Candida infection than did patients on any antibiotic regimen not containing ciprofloxacin (unadjusted hazard ratio = 3.7; 95% CI, 1.6-8.7; p = 0.003; adjusted hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.4-8.0; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: High exposure to antibiotics is associated to increased risk of invasive Candida infection in medical intensive care patients. Patients with ciprofloxacin-containing regimens had higher risk of invasive Candida infection. Other antibiotics, such as meropenem, piperacillin/tazobactam, and cefuroxime, were not associated with such a risk.
