Assessment of independent predictors for high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma and the long-term mortality in patients with mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions

Aims The aims of this prospective study were to identify independent risk factors for the presence of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or adenocarcinoma in mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) and to assess the mortality of this heterogenous group of patients.
