anote that a single cyst may contribute multiple transitions. For example, an active cyst at baseline that progresses to degenerative between 6 mo and 12 mo and stays in the stage to the end of the study contributes four transitions: 1: baseline to 1 mo (as active to active), 2: 1 mo to 6 mo (as active to active), 3: 6 mo to 12 mo (as active to degenerative) and 4: 12 mo to 24 mo (as degenerative to degenerative).

bdegenerative includes the colloidal and granular nodular phases of the cyst evolution.
