Analysis of risk factors for concomitant PDAC with Kaplan–Meier Method in our 547patient cohort overall and in 439 patients with IPMN. In analysis of all patients, between patients with IPMN and nonIPMN, there was no statistically significant differences (P = 0.06) (a). In analysis focusing on 439 patients with IPMN, MPD dilatation (≥2.5 mm; P < 0.05) (b), diabetes mellitus (P < 0.001) (c), and hyperlipidemia (P < 0.05) (d) at initial cyst diagnosis concerned with higher incidence rate of concomitant PDAC in univariate analysis.
