Abstract :

Background: Cervical cancer ranks as fourth most common cancer amongst females globally, having a projected 604,000 new cases and 342,000 demises reported annually. In Pakistan, it poses a substantial burden on women’s health, and the incidence rate is alarmingly high. Persistent HPV infection is primary reason of cervical cancer, and identifying prevalence of HPV in a specific population is crucial for targeted prevention and early detection efforts.
Aim: The key purpose of our current research is to examine the occurrence of HPV infection among gynecologic outdoor patients visiting PIMS Hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan, and assess its association with cervical cancer risk.
Methods: This study will be conducted at PIMS Hospital in Islamabad, a prominent healthcare institution serving a diverse patient population. A cross-sectional design will be employed to assess HPV prevalence among gynecologic outdoor patients. A sample of consenting patients will undergo cervical screening through Pap smears or HPV DNA testing. Demographic data, clinical histories, and lifestyle factors will be collected through structured interviews and medical records.
Results: The current research aims to give the comprehensive overview of HPV prevalence among gynecologic outdoor patients at PIMS Hospital. Statistical analyses will be performed to determine the relationship between HPV infection and cervical cancer risk. The findings will contribute to our understanding of the burden of HPV in this region and inform strategies for early detection and prevention.
Conclusion: Cervical cancer continues to be the major health challenge in Pakistan. This current research goal is to shed light on occurrence of HPV infection amongst gynecologic outdoor patients visiting PIMS Hospital in Islamabad and its association with cervical cancer risk. The results will guide healthcare policies, screening programs, and interventions to reduce occurrence and death of cervical cancer in region.
Keywords: Cervical cancer, HPV infection, gynecologic outdoor patients, PIMS Hospital, Islamabad, prevalence, risk factors, early detection, prevention.
