| case-control study of risk factors for cervical neoplasia in denmark. i: role of the "male factor" in women with one lifetime sexual partner. | possible risk factors for cervical cancer were investigated in 645 women, 20-49 years of age from copenhagen, with histologically confirmed cervical cancer or carcinoma in situ and in 614 controls drawn at random from the female population of the same area. to study the role of the "male factor", monogamous cases and controls together with their husbands were invited for further examination. this included a personal interview, a blood sample for analysis of herpes simplex virus antibodies, and a ... | 1991 | 2019457 |
| case-control study of risk factors for cervical squamous-cell neoplasia in denmark. iii. role of oral contraceptive use. | the role of oral contraceptive (oc) use in relation to the risk of cervical neoplasia (squamous cell) was investigated in a population-based case-control study in denmark of 586 women with histologically verified cervical carcinoma in situ (cis), 59 women with invasive cervical cancer from copenhagen, and 614 controls drawn at random from the female population in the study area. ever use of ocs was associated with an increased crude risk for carcinoma in situ (relative risk [rr] = 1.8, 95 percen ... | 1993 | 8280828 |
| case-control study of risk factors for cervical squamous cell neoplasia in denmark. iv: role of smoking habits. | the role of smoking and other risk factors for cervical neoplasia was investigated in a population-based case-control study of 586 women with histologically verified cervical squamous-cell carcinoma in situ (cis), and 59 women with invasive squamous-cell cervical cancer from copenhagen. controls were randomly selected from the general female population using the computerized danish central population register. after adjustment for a variety of confounding variables, which were all significantly ... | 1996 | 8972255 |
| seroreactivity to hpv16 virus-like particles as a marker for cervical cancer risk in high-risk populations. | sexually transmitted genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection, most often hpv 16, is considered the major etiologic determinant of cervical cancer. however, some studies have found relatively low prevalences of genital tract hpv dna in some geographical areas, such as greenland, that have high rates of cervical cancer. we sought to evaluate hpv 16 infection in high-risk cohorts using a serologic assay that assesses prior exposure as well as current infection and to compare the results with t ... | 1996 | 8980170 |
| determinants for genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection in 1000 randomly chosen young danish women with normal pap smear: are there different risk profiles for oncogenic and nononcogenic hpv types? | most studies of risk factors for human papillomavirus (hpv) dna detection have focused on overall hpv positivity and have not examined determinants for high-risk and low-risk hpv types separately. we studied risk determinants for genital hpv infection in 1000 randomly chosen women (20-29 years) with normal cervical cytology from copenhagen, denmark. all women had a personal interview, a pap smear, and cervical swabs for hpv dna detection using a pcr technique. on the basis of their association w ... | 1997 | 9332762 |
| risk factors for cervical neoplasia in denmark. | with the overall goal of elucidating the risk factor pattern for cervical neoplasia, two case-control studies and a prospective cohort study were conducted. the first case-control study focused on female lifestyle risk factors. it was designed to include all women (aged 20-49 years) in greater copenhagen, diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer or carcinoma in situ (cis) from january 1985 to december 1986. they were identified from the danish cancer registry. an age-stratified control group was ... | 1998 | 9693662 |
| human papillomavirus infection in danish female sex workers. decreasing prevalence with age despite continuously high sexual activity. | the prevalence of the human papillomavirus (hpv) has been found to decrease with age, but whether this applies to all populations is not clear. knowledge about the generalizability of this age dependency is important to understand the natural history of the infection, but may also have implications in relation to the use of hpv testing in cervical cancer screening. | 2000 | 10987448 |
| high-risk human papillomavirus is sexually transmitted: evidence from a follow-up study of virgins starting sexual activity (intercourse). | genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is generally considered to be sexually transmitted. however, nonsexual spread of the virus has also been suggested. the goal of this study was to assess: (a) the role of sexual intercourse in the transmission of hpv; (b) the determinants for seroconversion; and (c) the correlation between hpv dna, abnormal cervical cytology, and serological response to hpv16. one hundred virgins and 105 monogamous women were randomly selected from a population-based c ... | 2001 | 11219765 |
| type specific persistence of high risk human papillomavirus (hpv) as indicator of high grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions in young women: population based prospective follow up study. | to investigate the role of human papillomavirus (hpv) in the development of cervical neoplasia in women with no previous cervical cytological abnormalities; whether the presence of virus dna predicts development of squamous intraepithelial lesion; and whether the risk of incident squamous intraepithelial lesions differs with repeated detection of the same hpv type versus repeated detection of different types. | 2002 | 12228133 |
| human papillomavirus self-sampling for screening nonattenders: opt-in pilot implementation with electronic communication platforms. | in organized cervical screening programs, typically 25% of the invited women do not attend. the copenhagen self-sampling initiative (csi) aimed to gain experiences on participation among screening nonattenders in the capital region of denmark. here, we report on the effectiveness of different communication platforms used in the pilot with suggestions for strategies prior to a full-implementation. moreover, an innovative approach using self-sampling brushes with unique radio frequency identificat ... | 2017 | 28195317 |
| prevalence of human papillomavirus in self-taken samples from screening non-attenders. | the copenhagen self-sampling initiative (csi) has shown how human papillomavirus (hpv)-based self-sampling can be used to increase screening participation among 23,632 non-attenders in capital region of denmark. here, we described the hpv prevalence and genotype frequency in 4824 self-samples using three hpv assays (clart, onclarity and hc2), and compared the results to the subsequent physician-taken follow-up samples. hpv self-sample findings were also compared to a reference population of rout ... | 2017 | 28724554 |
