The etiology of pancreatic cancer remains elusive. Several studies have suggested a role for diabetes mellitus, but the magnitude of its contribution remains controversial.
Utilizing a large administrative database, this retrospective cohort study was designed to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and pancreatic cancer.
Using the Veterans Integrated Services Network 16 database, 322,614 subjects were enrolled in the study, including 110,919 with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 211,695 diabetes-free controls matched by gender, year of birth and healthcare facility.
A significantly higher incidence of pancreatic cancer was observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with an adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.17 (1.70-2.77) for type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to controls (p < 10) after controlling for the matching factors.
The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and pancreatic cancer was statistically significant and may, in part, explain the rising incidence of pancreatic cancer.
胰腺癌的病因仍不明确。多项研究表明糖尿病可能与之相关,但其作用程度仍存在争议。
本回顾性队列研究利用大型管理数据库,旨在探讨2型糖尿病与胰腺癌之间的关系。
使用退伍军人综合服务网络16数据库,共有322,614名受试者纳入研究,其中包括110,919名2型糖尿病患者以及211,695名无糖尿病的对照者,后者在性别、出生年份和医疗机构方面与病例组相匹配。
2型糖尿病患者中胰腺癌的发病率显著更高,在控制匹配因素后,2型糖尿病患者与对照组相比,校正风险比(95%置信区间)为2.17(1.70 - 2.77)(p < 0.001)。
2型糖尿病与胰腺癌之间的关联具有统计学意义,这可能部分解释了胰腺癌发病率上升的原因。
