Aspectos socioeconômicos em pacientes com HPV genital: avaliação da citologia anal

Abstract

Objectives: To describe the socioeconomic profile of genital HPV patients in the Lower Genital Tract Pathology (LGTP) Clinic of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sergipe (UH-FUS). To evaluate the presence of HPV-related alterations in the anal cytologies of these patients and to verify whether or not there is a statistical association between these alterations and the socioeconomic profile of the patients. Methods: From analysis of medical records and / or direct interview with the patient, socioeconomic data and descriptions on the severity of the pre-existing intraepithelial lesion were collected. Also, samples of anal cytology were collected at gynecological examination. All results were annotated in one form and then tabulated and analyzed. Results: Fifty-eight patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 34.98 years; 50.0% came from the capital; 37.9% studied until completing high school; and 55.2% had individual income of up to one minimum wage. A statistical association was found between parity and severity of the initial intraepithelial lesion and the result of anal cytology. Conclusion: The socioeconomic profile of HPV patients in the LGTP clinic of UH- FUS is mainly composed of single women, with a mean age of 34.9 years, from the capital, with individual income of up to one minimum wage and who studied until completing high school. The analysis of the data allows us to conclude that the severity of genital Intraepithelial Lesion and parity have a statistically significant association with the presence of alterations related to anal HPV in the anal cytologies.
