1 Supplementary Table 1. Main risk of bias in the included studies. Study Main risk of bias Anderson, 2009 Differential participation (45% cases, 83% controls) 11% proxy respondents Risk of recall bias Self-reported pancreatitis Few number of exposed subjects Risk of reverse causation (no lag period between pancreatitis and cancer) Treatment outside the region may have resulted in misclassification of exposure or outcome Bang, 2014 No information on tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption Risk of reverse causation (only 1 year lag period between pancreatitis and cancer) Bansal, 1995 Only inpatients included No information on tobacco smoking Considered pseudocyst as manifestation of chronic pancreatitis (risk of misclassification, as this may also be a complication to acute pancreatitis) Risk of reverse causation (only 1 year lag period between pancreatitis and cancer) Treatment outside the Veterans Affairs system may have resulted in misclassification Duell, % non-responders in both groups Risk of recall bias Self-reported pancreatitis Few number of exposed subjects Risk of reverse causation (no lag period between pancreatitis and cancer) Treatment outside the region may have resulted in misclassification of exposure or outcome Goldacre, 2008 Only 55% males (risk of selection bias) Only inpatients included Treatment outside the area may have resulted in misclassification No information on tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption Risk of reverse causation (only 1 year lag period between pancreatitis and cancer) Karlson, 1997 Risk of misclassification of exposure (uncertain validity of pancreatitis diagnoses) No information on tobacco smoking Risk of reverse causation (only 1 year lag period between pancreatitis and cancer)
