By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Life Science Weekly -- New research on Tumor Virus Infections - Papillomavirus Infections is the subject of a report. According to news reporting from Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in males and females worldwide; yet its impact upon male fertility remains unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of HPV infection in semen on male fertility abnormality.”
The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Southern Medical University, “A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library database for relevant publications up to May 6, 2017. The odds ratio (OR), and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI), was selected to represent the effect size. Statistical analysis was conducted using STATA 12.0. In total, eight articles, providing data on 1955 participants, were included in this meta-analysis. Collectively, the data suggested that HPV infection of semen was a risk factor for male fertility abnormality with an OR of 3.02 (95% CI: 2.11-4.32; I=6.9%). Sensitivity analysis revealed that the results of this study were robust.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “HPV infection of semen represents a risk factor for male fertility abnormality.”
