    Nina Barner-Rasmussen et al. Surveillance of primary sclerosing cholangitis – a comparison of scheduled or on-demand ERCP with annual MRI surveillance: a multicenter study

    Three different surveillance strategies (scheduled ERCP, annual MRI/MRCP surveillance, and on-demand ERCP) were compared retrospectively in data of 1629 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (median follow-up 8–11 years). The cumulative incidence of the composite end point (hepatobiliary malignancy, liver transplantation, or liver-related death) was lowest in the group undergoing scheduled ERCP (14.1%) and highest in the on-demand ERCP cohort (35.0%).
