Table 2 Pancreatic cancer risk factors and association of pancreatic cancer with hepatitis C virus and hepatitis B virus infection: univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis

Variables	Cases (n = 585)	Controls (n = 1716)	Univariate analysis		Multivariate analysis
Variables	Cases (n = 585)	Controls (n = 1716)	OR	95%CI	OR	95%CI

^aP < 0.05,

^bP < 0.01 vs the control group in regression analysis. Blood samples were tested for the presence of anti-HCV, HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc in all cases and controls. HBsAg^-/anti-HBc^-/anti-HBs^-: HBV infection naïve; HBsAg⁺/anti-HBc⁺/anti-HBs^-: chronic HBV infection; HBsAg^-/anti-HBc⁺/anti-HBs⁺: acquired immunity to HBV infection.
