To evaluate the role of @entity1082 ) and other risk factors in the aetiology of @entity189 ( @entity189 ), we conducted a hospital-based case-control study in Chennai, Southern India. A total of 205 @entity189 cases (including 12 @entity420 ) and 213 frequency age-matched control @entity1 were included. HPV DNA in cervical cells was evaluated by means of a polymerase chain-reaction assay. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed by means of unconditional multiple logistic regression models. @entity1083 was detected in all but one @entity189 cases and in 27.7% of control @entity1 (OR = 498). Twenty-three different HPV types were found. @entity1799 was the most common type in either cases or controls, followed by HPV 18 and 33. The association of @entity189 with HPV 18 and @entity1799 -associated types was somewhat stronger than the one with @entity1799 . @entity1083 did not show a higher OR for @entity189 than single infections. Other than @entity1083 , high parity (OR for >4 vs. </=2 births = 7.3), a @entity1 's report of her husband's extramarital sexual relationships (OR = 10.0) and @entity7793 (OR for <45 vs. >/=45 years = 4.2) were significantly associated with @entity189 , also after restricting the analysis to HPV-positive cases and controls. Poor hygienic conditions were associated with an increased risk of @entity1083 among control @entity1 but not with @entity189 risk among HPV-positive @entity1 . A vaccine against @entity1799 and 18 may be effective in more than three-quarters of @entity189 in the study area.
