242Background: Two recent clinical trials (IMPRESS and APACT) suggest the overall survival (OS) of patients with resected pancreatic cancer (RPC) is far longer than previously believed. Improvements in patient selection, intra/post-operative surgical care adjch are suggested as explanations for the improved OS. RWE of time to progression (TTP) from surgery were calculated to assess if the results of these trials are generalizable. Methods: RPC patients (ICD-9=157.x, excluding 157.4; CPT=48140, 48146, 48150, 48152-5) diagnosed between 03/2012-06/2015 were selected from the Inovalon More2 administrative claims database. Adjch was defined as initiating chemotherapy within 90 days of surgery. TTP was the time from surgery until the first claim for metastatic disease (ICD-9 =196.0-.3, .5-.6, 197.0-.8, 198.0-.8) using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients without a metastatic diagnosis during their follow-up were censored at 12 months to adjust for underreporting of metastatic disease codes in claims. Results: 1,01...
