Logistic regression analysis of possible predictors of malignancy

Variable	Multivariate analysis
	OR	95% CI	p value
Mural nodule	17.02	2.44–118.59	0.004
MPD caliber 5–9 mm	24.48	3.40–176.31	0.001

Only mural nodules and MPD dilatation 5–9 mm were retained by the forward selection model for multivariate analysis

CI confidence interval, MPD main pancreatic duct, OR odds ratio

p values which were <0.05 implying statistical significance were highlighted in bold
