OBJECTIVES: In China, the annual number of cervical cancer (CC) cases is expected to increase between 42,000 and 187,000 in 2050. Previous meta-analysis reported gestational history and sexual behaviour as the main risk factors for CC in China. This study aims at updating these findings with a comprehensive systematic literature review. METHODS: The systematic literature review retrieved citations from MEDLINE, MEDLINE-IN-PROCESS and EMBASE, and three Chinese databases, CNKI, Wanfang Data and CQVIP, using PICOS framework. The target population was Chinese adolescent or adult females. All observational studies irrespective of intervention or comparator reporting risk factors for CC were included. Search terms included those related to CC, risk factor and Chinese population. The search was not restricted in terms of time span or language. The abstracts and selected manuscripts were assessed (content and quality) by two independent reviewers. RESULTS:
