:
: This study followed the ethical standards in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments and was approved by the ethics committee of Osaka University Hospital (approval number 16329–2). The ethics committee of our hospital waived the need for informed consent because of the retrospective nature of the study. However, comprehensive informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to treatment. Additional opt-out technique through an online announcement on the hospital’s webpage was used to provide an opportunity for patients to withdraw in the study.
