Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of HPV DNA and cervical cytological abnormalities, to compare cervical cytology results and HPV DNA and to define HPV types distribution in a large series of Turkish women who have undergone HPV analysis in hospitals that are members of the Turkish Gynecological Oncology Group. Material and Method:Between 2006 and 2010, a total of 6388 patients' data was retrospectively evaluated at 12 healthcare centers in Turkey. Demographic characteristics, cervical cytology results, HPV status and types were compared.Results: Th e mean age of the patients was 38.9±10.2. Overall, 25% of the women were found to be HPV positive. Presence of HPV-DNA among patients with abnormal and normal cytology was 52% and 27%, respectively. Th ere was significant diff erence with respect to decades of life and HPV positivity (p < 0.05). HPV was positive in (within the HPV (+) patients) 37%, 9%, 27%, 20%, 22%, and 41% of the ASCUS, ASC-H, LSIL HSIL, glandular cell abnormalities, and SCC cases respectively Th e most common HPV types in our study were as follows; HPV 16 (32%), HPV 6 (17%), HPV 11 (9%), HPV 18 (8%), HPV 31 (6%), HPV 51 (5%), HPV 33 (3%). Conclusion:In this hospital based retrospective analysis, HPV genotypes in Turkish women with normal and abnormal cytology are similar to those reported from western countries. Further population based prospective multicenter studies are necessary to determine non-hospital based HPV prevalence in Turkish women. Bulgular: Ortalama hasta yaşı 38.9±10.2 idi. Tüm grup değerlendiril-diğinde, %25 hastada HPV pozitif olarak saptandı. Anormal sitolojisi olanlarda HPV pozitifl iği %57 iken normal pap testi olanlarda HPV pozitifl iği %27 oranında tespit edildi. Hastaların yaşam dekadları ile HPV pozitifl iği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (p<0,05) HPV pozitifl iği ASCUS, ASC-H, LSIL, HSIL, glandüler anormallikler ve skuamöz hücreli karsinom için sırasıyla %37, %9, %27, %20, %22, %41 idi. En sık görülen HPV tipleri sırasıyla HPV 16 (%32), HPV 6 (%17), HPV 11 (%9), HPV 18 (%8), HPV 31 (%6), HPV 51 (%5), HPV 33 (%3) idi.Sonuç: Bu hastane temelli retrospektif analizde HPV tipleri gelişmiş batı ülkelerinde rapor edilen tiplerle benzer olarak tespit edildi. Ülkemizdeki gerçek popülasyon temelli HPV prevalansı ve tiplerinin belirlenmesi için hastane temelli olmayan çok merkezli geniş sayıda hasta içeren serilere ihtiyaç vardır.

This review is limited by the small number and retrospective nature of the available studies. With these limitations in mind, CT and MRI seem to be highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of appendicitis in pregnancy and their use should be considered when the results of ultrasonography are normal or inconclusive and appendicitis is suspected.

Our study demonstrated that MPV and NLR levels are increased despite similar hsCRP levels in patients with PCOS. However, we failed to demonstrate these differences in obese PCOS patients. Further studies with larger sample size are required to determine the significance of BMI in the inflammation of PCOS patients.
