Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Either: Newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus, defined as HbA1c >6.5% (diagnosed within 1 month before inclusion) Or: Newly diagnosed prediabetes, defined as HbA1c > 6 % at two occasions with an interval of = 6 months (second measurement within the last month) Participants should also have one or more of the following risk factors of PDAC: 1. Aged 50 years or older 2. Smoking 3. Positive family history for PDAC 4. Status post gestational diabetes 5. Chronic pancreatitis

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Screening prevalence of PDAC in both screened populations, determined as the proportion of screened patients who have a positive screening test for PDAC with a confirmed CT diagnosis, or diagnosed during the 3-year follow-up Updated 28/05/2020: follow-up changed from 2 years to 3 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Diagnostic performance of the urine 3-biomarker panel with serum CA19-9, assessed at predefined thresholds using the numbers of true positives, false positives, true negatives and false negatives from this test 1.1. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) 1.2. Area under the curve (AUC) 1.3. Sensitivity 1.4. Specificity 1.5. Predictive values 1.6. Probability values As a gold standard, we use a CT to confirm positive screening tests, and a 3-year follow-up to confirm negative tests 2. Mean survival of PDAC patients who were diagnosed at the screening, assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves, assessed at the 3-year follow-up 3. Stage of the PDAC at diagnosis, assessed using the numbers of participants with each stage of PDAC Updated 28/05/2020: follow-up changed from 2 years to 3 years.
