| Summary: | Introduction
Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for various diseases worldwide,
including pancreatic exocrine diseases such as pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer
(PC). Currently, few studies have examined the impact of smoking cessation
on the likelihood of common pancreatic exocrine diseases. This study sought
to determine whether smoking cessation would reduce pancreatitis and PC
morbidity.
Methods
This cohort study used data from the UK Biobank (UKB) to examine
the association between smoking status and the likelihood of pancreatitis and
PC among 492855 participants. The subjects were divided into never smokers,
ex-smokers, and current smokers. Using a multivariate-adjusted binary logistic
regression model, we analyzed the relationship between different smoking
conditions and the likelihood of pancreatitis and PC. Further, we studied the
impact of smoking cessation on pancreatitis and PC compared with current
smoking.
Results
After adjusting for potential confounders, current smokers had higher odds
for acute pancreatitis (AP) (AOR=1.38; 95% CI: 1.18–1.61), chronic pancreatitis
(CP) (AOR=3.29; 95% CI: 2.35–4.62) and PC (AOR=1.72; 95% CI: 1.42–2.09).
People who quit smoking had comparable odds for the diseases as those who never
smoked. Compared with current smokers, ex-smokers had reduced odds for AP
(AOR=0.76; 95% CI: 0.64–0.89), CP (AOR=0.31; 95% CI: 0.21–0.46), and PC
(AOR=0.62; 95% CI: 0.50–0.76). Subgroup analysis revealed reduced odds for
these pancreatic diseases in males and females.
Conclusions
Smokers have an increased odds for pancreatitis and pancreatic
cancer. Moreover, smoking cessation can significantly reduce the odds for acute
pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. |
