%: the percentage of single HPV types of all included vulvar HSIL or VSCC patients, (%*): the percentage of single HPV types of HPV-positive patients. Numbers do not add up because of multiple infections. HR: high risk; LR: low risk. HR is defined as HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68. Probable HR is defined as HPV types 26, 30, 53, 66, 67, 69, 70, 73, and 82. LR is defined as HPV types 2, 6, 11, 27, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 62, 72, 74, 83, 84, and 89, and unclassified are types 1, 55, 114, and 120. The classification of HPV types is based on (de Villiers et al., 2004, Doorbar, 2012). In this literature search, “other HPV types” includes: (n vulvar HSIL; n VSCC) HR: HPV-39 (2;6), HPV-51 (8;4), Probable HR: HPV-5 (0;1), HPV-26 (3;3), HPV-30 (1;1), HPV-53 (2;5), HPV-66 (2;7), HPV-67 (4;1), HPV-68 (1;3), HPV-69 (0;2), HPV-70 (2;4), HPV-73 (4;3), HPV-82 (3;2), and HPV-68 or73 (1;0), LR: HPV-2 (0;1), HPV-27 (0;1), HPV-40 (1;0), HPV-42 (4;2), HPV-43 (1;0), HPV-44 (1;1), HPV-54 (2;3), HPV-61 (2;0), HPV-62 (0;1), HPV-72 (2;0), HPV-74 (0;7), HPV-83 (3;0), HPV-84 (1;0), and HPV-89 (0;2), Unclassified: HPV-1 (0;1), HPV-55 (2,0), HPV-64 (0;2), HPV-114 (1;0), and HPV-120 (0;2).
