Abstract
El cáncer de cérvix en el 99% de los casos, es causado por el Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) de alto riesgo, su prevalencia es elevada en países de bajos ingresos debido a la escasez de recursos para realizar programas generalizados de detección precoz, inmunización y tratamiento adecuado. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar la frecuencia y los factores de riesgo de las infecciones del VPH de alto riesgo, en mujeres de 21 a 65 años de tres cantones de la zona 6 del Ecuador, periodo 2019. Este fue un estudio analítico, de corte transversal; con una muestra de registros clínicos de 109 pacientes encuestadas a partir del proyecto de epidemiologia en la provincia de El Oro que cumplieron los criterios inclusión. Los datos se recogieron en un formulario validado por método Delphi. Se usó programa SPSS v 24, para la asociación de las variables: Intervalo de Confianza 95%, Chi cuadrado (con valor de p < 0.05), Odds Ratio. Los resultados observados fueron de 31 (28,4%) casos de pacientes con VPH AR, de estas se identificó como el genotipo más común al VPH AR 39 (11,01%) en las participantes del estudio, seguido del VPH AR 31 (8,26%). Fueron factores considerados asociados a la infección del VPH AR sin significancia estadística el inicio de la vida sexual (IVSA) antes de los 20 años (OR = 1,2); y el número de parejas sexuales igual o mayor a 2 (OR = 1,7). Se concluye que el inicio de vida sexual temprano y el numero compañeros sexuales fueron factores asociados, pero sin significancia estadística.
Cervical cancer in 99% of cases is caused by high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV), its prevalence is high in low-income countries due to the scarcity of resources for widespread early detection programs, immunization and adequate treatment. The objective of the research was to identify the frequency and risk factors of high-risk HPV infections in women aged 21 to 65 years in three cantons of zone 6 of Ecuador, period 2019. This was an analytical, cross-sectional study; with a sample of clinical records of 109 patients surveyed from the epidemiology project in the province of El Oro who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected in a form validated by Delphi method. SPSS v 24 software was used for the association of variables: 95% confidence interval, Chi-square (with p value < 0.05), Odds Ratio. The results observed were 31 (28.4%) cases of patients with AR HPV, of which AR HPV 39 (11.01%) was identified as the most common genotype in the study participants, followed by AR HPV 31 (8.26%). Factors considered to be associated with AR HPV infection without statistical significance were sexual debut before the age of 20 years (OR = 1.2); and the number of sexual partners equal to or greater than 2 (OR = 1.7). It was concluded that early sexual debut and the number of sexual partners were associated factors, but without statistical significance.
