Table 2.

HPV16/18 vaccine efficacy against prevalent cervical, anal, and oral HPV16/18 DNA four years after vaccination in the “Naïve” cohort*,†

Study population Arm Women or sites No. events HPV16/18 prevalence, % Efficacy (95% CI), %
Cervical, anal, or oral HPV16/18 HPV vaccine 970 15 1.5 83.5 (72.1 to 90.8)
Multisite woman level‡ Control 949 89 9.4
Cervical HPV16/18 HPV vaccine 970 8 0.8 89.4 (79.0 to 95.2)
Control 949 74 7.8
Anal HPV16/18 HPV vaccine 970 7 0.7 85.1 (68.4 to 93.8)
Control 949 46 4.8
Cervical, anal, oral HPV16/18 HPV vaccine 2910 15 0.5 88.2 (79.6 to 93.1)
Multisite infection level§ Control 2847 124 4.4
HPV16/18 at two or three sites HPV vaccine 970 0 0.0 100.0 (91.0 to 100.0)
Control 949 34 3.6

* The naïve cohort excluded those who were human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 seropositive at baseline or high-risk cervical HPV DNA+ at baseline or had loop electrosurgical excision procedure during the vaccination phase. CI = confidence interval; HPV = human papillomavirus. † The vaccine efficacy for oral HPV16/18 alone was excluded given low number of events. These results are presented in Supplementary Table 2 (available online).

‡ A woman-level event is defined as a woman who is positive for cervical, anal, and/or oral HPV DNA at the four-year visit.§ An infection-level event is defined as a woman’s anatomical site having HPV16/18 DNA (women contribute three times for each anatomic site); the vaccine efficacies for this analysis utilized generalized estimating equations to adjust for the correlation within an individual.
