Morphology-defined bacterial vaginosis and HPV-related cervical screening abnormalities: a two-year real-world study with histopathologic correlation.

The main 30-day analysis included 4,492 unique patients, of whom 587 (13.07%) had morphology-defined bacterial vaginosis.

After additional adjustment for high-risk human papillomavirus, the BV-TCT association was attenuated and non-significant.

Among 825 patients with cervical histopathology records, bacterial vaginosis was not independently associated with any histologic lesion grade, whereas high-risk human papillomavirus, HPV16/18, and TCT abnormality were the principal predictors of histopathologic disease.
