(A) The prevalence of HPV (only HR、only LR、HR + LR) infections among total samples from 2017 to 2023. (B) presenting the changes in the overall HPV infection rate from 2017 to 2023 based on seasonal classifications in China (spring represents January to March, summer represents April to June, autumn represents July to September, and winter represents October to December). (C) the distribution of HPV across different age groups before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic (pre-COVID-19 refers to January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019; mid-COVID-19 refers to January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022; post-COVID-19 refers to January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023). (D) scatter plot of the distribution of 20 HPV genotypes before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chi-square test indicates the significance levels between each pair. (E) displaying the changes in HPV infection rates before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic based on the sorted infection rates of different genotypes in the overall sample.
