Univariate and multivariate analyses of pancreatic cancer risk in relation to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) level in two levels of 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG) between cases and controls

	DHEA continuous scale	DHEA tertile 2/tertile 1	DHEA tertile 3/tertile 1
8‐OHdG < 178.6 (median)
Adjusted OR† (95% CI)	1.002 (0.92–1.09)	2.81 (0.39–20.09)	0.46 (0.07–3.22)
Crude OR (95% CI)	0.998 (0.92–1.07)	1.71 (0.33–8.67)	0.52 (0.11–2.48)
8‐OHdG ≥ 178.6 (median)
Adjusted OR† (95% CI)	0.79 (0.66–0.94)*	0.48 (0.07–3.41)	0.05 (0.004–0.69)*
Crude OR (95% CI)	0.923 (0.83–1.01)	1.44 (0.34–5.94)	0.32 (0.06–1.60)

^* P values < 0.05.

^† Adjusted for: age, gender, BMI, smoking status, and diabetes mellitus.

BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
