Popis: To investigate immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) induced pancreatic injury (ICIPI), the prognostic effect of COVID-19 vaccine on cancer patients, and whether COVID-19 vaccine increases the incidence of ICIPI. We conducted a retrospective study of 256 stage IV cancer patients treated with ICIs at The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2020 to November 2022. Data collected included pancreatic enzyme levels, treatment outcomes, and vaccination status. Statistical significance was determined using the χ2 test and Kaplan-Meier method (p
