| Abstract |
Epidemiologic studies show strong associations between pancreatic cancer (PC) and inflammatory stimuli or conditions such as cigarette smoking and diabetes, suggesting that inflammation may play a key role in PC. Studies of dietary patterns and cancer outcomes also suggest that diet might influence an individual's risk of PC by modulating inflammation. We therefore examined independent and joint associations between inflammatory potential of diet, cigarette smoking and long-standing (≥5 years) type II diabetes in relation to risk of PC. Analyses included data from 817 cases and 1,756 controls. Inflammatory potential of diet was measured using the dietary inflammatory index (DII), calculated from dietary intake assessed via a 144-item food frequency questionnaire, and adjusted for energy intake. Information on smoking and diabetes were obtained via risk factor questionnaires. Associations were examined using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression. Higher DII scores, reflecting a more pro-inflammatory diet, were associated with increased risk of PC (ORQuintile5vs1=2.54, 95%CI=1.87-3.46, Ptrend<0.0001). Excess risk of PC also was observed among former (OR=1.29, 95%CI=1.07-1.54) and current (OR=3.40, 95%CI=2.28-5.07) smokers compared to never smokers, and among participants with long-standing diabetes (OR=3.09, 95%CI=2.02-4.72) compared to non-diabetics. Joint associations were observed for the combined effects of having greater than median DII score, and being a current smoker (OR=4.79, 95%CI=3.00-7.65) or having long-standing diabetes (OR=6.03, 95%CI=3.41-10.85). These findings suggest that a pro-inflammatory diet may act as cofactor with cigarette smoking and diabetes to increase risk of PC beyond the risk of any of these factors alone. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 November 2016.
All research outputs
#1,428,910
of 22,867,327 outputs
Outputs from Carcinogenesis
#108
of 4,754 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,259
of 400,513 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Carcinogenesis
#2
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,867,327 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,754 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,513 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
