%X <strong>Objective:</strong><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">In
Cameroon, more than 80% of women suffering from cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia (CIN) are within the reproductive age. This study intended to analyze
the pregnancy outcomes following cervical treatment in Cameroon.</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">Methods:</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">This
was a cohort study with two years retrospective data collection involving 82
women who underwent cervical treatment for CIN in two Cameroonian hospitals
from January 2015 to December 2017. Data were collected from CIN treatment to
end of pregnancy where applicable. Data analysis was done using Epi Info software
version 3.5.4.</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">Results:</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">We
collected data from 82 patients aged 27 to 48 years, with a mean age of 36.5
(SD: 5.3) years. During the study period, 33 out of 82 participants became
pregnant 40.2 [29.56</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">51.66]%. The factor associated with pregnancy occurrence
after treatment was age less than 35 years (Odds ratio = 4.37 </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">[1.7</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">11.2</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">]. From the 33 pregnancies recorded, 17 (51.5%) ended in a delivery,
amongst which 15 (88.2%) were vaginal.</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">Conclusion:</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">Pregnancy </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">frequency</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> over two years following cervical treatment for CIN
was relatively good, and younger women (age &lt;</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">35
years) were significantly more like to have conceived compared to their older
counterparts. Post-treatment delivery outcomes seem to be similar
