Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Diagnostic accuracy and agreement of both applied diagnostic methods.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Identification and characterisation of patient-specific variables for a good or bad agreement in cystic pancreatic lesions. - Incidence and entities of pancreatic cystic lesions in the study centre. - Comparison of follow-up recommendation of both methods. - Can the malignancy criteria used in endosonographic ultrasound also be characterised in transabdominal ultrasound? - Which patient-related factors (e.g. BMI, age, gender) influence the quality of transabdominal or endosonographic diagnostics? - Is it possible to characterise a cohort of patients in whom sonographic follow-up with transabdominal ultrasound seems reasonable?	—
