Abstract
Objective: To correlate the results of self-collected DNA-HPV tests with cytological and histological changes in patients from a specialized clinic. Methods: This is a retrospective, quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study conducted with patients aged 25 to 64 years at a colposcopy clinic in a public hospital in the Federal District. The patients had abnormal oncotic cytology results and underwent the self-test for DNA-HPV between May 2023 and May 2024. Results: Of the 191 patients included in the study, 57.1% were aged between 30 and 49 years. DNA-HPV testing was positive in 65.4% of the cases. Among the HPV-positive patients, the most prevalent histopathological result was NIC2/3. This relationship was statistically significant in patients aged 30 to 49 years (p-value 0.049) and those over 50 years old (p-value 0.006), but not in patients under 29 years old (p-value 0.164). Conclusion: The HPV test can be used to guide the treatment of patients with abnormal cytology, thus selecting those who require more or less invasive measures.
