Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The fist clinical manifestation of chronic pancreatitis is due to long-term alcohol abuse in 80% of cases. So called idiopathic pancreatitis can be associated with SPINK or CFTR mutations. An inflammatory process lasting a decade or more is a risk factor for the development of pancreas cancer. Functional examination is becoming less important in diagnostics. Imaging techniques are important for primary diagnosis and for the planning of treatment. MRCP is a minimally invasive technique for demonstrating bile duct and pancreatic duct stenosis and extension. ERCP is usually only used within the framework of interventional therapy, e.g. bridging of stenoses using stents, removal of pancreatic duct concrements after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and drainage of pseudocysts. Endosonography is currently the most sensitive imaging technique for an early diagnosis, and Doppler signals show vessels which must not be damaged during drainage. CT shows inflamed pancreas tumors, calcifications and pseudocysts. Whether positron emission tomography will solve the problem of timely diagnosis of cancer as consequence of chronic inflammation is more than questionable. Studies are needed to clarify whether endoscopically steered pancreas biopsy can solve the problem of unclear pancreas tumors. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2006.
