Burden of HPV-Related Hospitalization in Germany from 2000 to 2021.
Viruses 2023 August 32
UNLABELLED: HPV has been linked to the development of precancerous and cancerous lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the burden of HPV-related hospitalization in Germany from 2000 to 2021 and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on it.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective query using data from the German Statistical Office from 2000 to 2021, including hospital admission, inpatient mortality and hospital stay length data on cervical cancer/dysplasia, female genitourinary tract, anal, penile, head and neck cancers.
RESULTS: The HPV-attributable hospitalization rate per 100,000 inhabitants in Germany has decreased over time, from 89 cases in 2000 to 60 in 2021, with an average annual percent change (AAPC) of -1.93 (CI -2.08--1.79, p < 0.05). The same trend was observed for the average hospital stay, which declined from 9 to 7 days, with an AAPC of -1.33 (CI -1.52--1.21, p < 0.05). An undulating but overall slightly declining pattern was observed for the inpatient mortality (AAPC -0.92, CI -1.21--0.64, p < 0.05). We observed a reduction in the hospitalization rates for invasive and non-invasive cervical cancer, which was observed in almost all age groups and in all German federal states.
CONCLUSION: Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of the trends in HPV-related hospitalizations over the past two decades. The decline in hospitalization rates for cervical cancer and dysplasia suggests the potential efficacy of the HPV vaccination and screening programs.
