Cervical conization and high risk - HPV status changes in relation to menopause: a retrospective longitudinal study based on generalized additive mixed models
In patients undergoing conization, longitudinal HPV infection status changes were independently associated with menopause. The risk of HPV positivity decreased significantly in the first 24 months post-surgery, with a more pronounced decline in premenopausal patients, informing HPV testing strategies post-conization.
