3. Aged greater than or equal to 18 years (either sex) and informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

1. Previous surgical, endoscopic or percutaneous intervention for pancreatic necrosis and/or peripancreatic necrosis and/or peripancreatic collections

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite of mortality and major morbidity. Major morbidity is defined as new onset organ failure (cardiac, pulmonary or renal), bleeding requiring intervention, perforation of a visceral organ (except for the stomach in ETN) requiring intervention, enterocutaneous fistula requiring intervention and incisional hernia (including burst abdomen). Measured at 6 months.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measured at 6 months:<br>1. Individual components of primary composite endpoint<br>2. Other morbidity such as pancreaticocutaneous fistula<br>3. Exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency<br>4. Development of additional fluid collections requiring intervention<br>5. Biliary strictures<br>6. Wound infections<br>7. The need for necrosectomy (either endoscopically or surgically)<br>8. The total number of surgical, endoscopic or radiological (re-) interventions<br>9. Total length of intensive care and hospital stay<br>10. Quality of life<br>11. Costs per patient with poor outcome<br>12. Costs per quality adjusted life year (QALY)<br>13. Total direct and indirect medical costs<br>14. Total number of cross-overs between groups
