Sumario:Background: The incidence of pancreatic cancer has increased annually, but the risk factors and their interactions are still unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors and the effects of their interactions on pancreatic cancer occurrence among patients in Shanghai, China. Methods: We conducted a hospital-based case-control study. The case group consisted of pathologically diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients, and the control group consisted of a healthy population. The Pearson Chi-square test was used to compare the distribution frequencies of data between groups. Multivariate analysis and interaction analysis were conducted to explore possible risk factors and interactions between various variables. Findings: Among the 4,821 recruited participants, 1,392 were pancreatic cancer patients and 3,429 were controls. Multivariate logistic analysis suggested that age (>50 years old) (AOR: 16.20 [95% CI 6.78; 38.69]), diabetes (AOR: 5.40 [95% CI 2.70; 10.80]), chronic pancreatitis (AOR: 27.43 [95% CI 2.14; 351.77]), smoking (AOR: 8.86 [95% CI 3.07; 25.58]), and family cancer history (AOR: 2.10 [95% CI 1.09; 8.56]) were the primary risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Interestingly, synergistic interactions between risk factors were found, especially between age and chronic pancreatitis (RERI = 447.93, API = 96.74%, SI = 32.78), age and smoking (RERI = 187.42, API = 94.97%, SI = 21.99), and diabetes and smoking (RERI = 14.39, API = 48.06%, SI = 1.99). Conclusions: Age, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, smoking, and family cancer history have been verified as the primary risk factors for pancreatic cancer in this study. Moreover, the interaction effects between old age, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and smoking substantially increase the probability of the development of pancreatic cancer. Cancer screening should be conducted extensively among people with these multiple factors to improve the efficiency.
