This may lead to abdominal wall herniation (AWH). We set out to establish the prevalence of AWH in PLD and explore risk factors. METHODS: In this cross-sectional cohort study, we assessed the presence of AWHs from PLD patients with at least 1 abdominal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scan. AWH presence on imaging was independently evaluated by two researchers. Data on potential risk factors were extracted from clinical files. RESULTS: We included 484 patients of which 40.1% (n = 194) had an AWH. We found a clear predominance of umbilical hernias (25.8%, n = 125) while multiple hernias were present in 6.2% (n = 30). Using multivariate analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.727 p
