Abstract: ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between human papilloma virus (HPV) and recurrence as well as malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP).MethodsPublished articles of casecontrol study about the relationship between HPV and recurrence as well as malignant transformation of SNIP were selected from Pubmed, Web of science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database and Chinese HowNet (2000—2017). All paper were reviewed and the original data were analyzed statistically by using RevMan5.3 statistical software.ResultsMeta analysis showed that HPV infection rate of the SNIP group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.00001, OR=19.72, 95%CI=7.91~49.18), and those of the recurrence group, malignant transformation group were also significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.00001, OR=3.10, 95%CI=1.90~5.08; P=0.0002, OR=2.09, 95%CI,=1.41~3.09), respectively.ConclusionHPV infection is closely related to the occurrence, recurrence as well as malignant transformation of SNIP.
